Fellowship“The Administrative Fellowship program connects Fellows with amazing executive mentors and career opportunities at both corporate and facility levels throughout the health network. The organization has a strong value and commitment in developing young professionals to become leaders within healthcare.” Alice, Fellow 2008-2009 Fellowships At CHW, our diversity reflects the people we serve, and the CHW Fellowship Program is one way we make a difference in our communities. The program was started in 1993 to give future healthcare leaders the opportunity to gain administrative, strategic and operational experience in our growing and dynamic industry. How the Program Works The Fellowship is typically a 12-month rotational program that includes six months at a CHW corporate office and six months at a CHW acute care facility. Our goal is to help highly-motivated, talented people develop the skills and experiences they’ll need for a successful healthcare career. As a Fellow, you’ll take on increasing levels of responsibility throughout the year. Projects will be assigned to you by your Executive Sponsor. These projects are designed to help you develop your leadership, strategic and management skills so you can grow your career and contribute to the overall mission of CHW. Projects have included:
