Hartford HealthCare Administrative Fellowship
Hartford HealthCare’s (HHC) postgraduate Administrative Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for recent master’s prepared graduates from an accredited program in Health Administration (MHA), Public Health (MPH) and Business Administration (MBA) or equivalent to develop their leadership potential through project management, structured learning, and key relationships with Senior Leaders.

The goals of the fellowship program are to:
– Identify candidates for management and future leadership positions within HHC
-Provide experiences that will develop skills and leadership potential

-Provide coaching and mentoring opportunities to develop skills of fellows
At the conclusion of the fellowship program, fellows will be equipped to be agile, future healthcare system leaders.
