The UVA Medical Center Administrative Fellowship Program provides individuals with a post-graduate experience in an academic medical center to better prepare them as a healthcare leader. Fellows benefit from interaction with Medical Center senior leadership and are involved in a range of strategic, clinical and operational projects. They also receive first-hand experience of public policy on a local, regional and national level. The fellowship is a two-year commitment. Fellows report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, Wendy Horton. Wendy Horton, CEO of UVA Medical Center, serves as the preceptor for the fellowship. Horton received a Master's in Business Administration and holds a Doctorate in Pharmacy. With over a decade of academic medical center expertise, she possesses robust clinical and operational expertise. She is ecstatic about mentoring future healthcare leaders and guiding the fellows during their two years. The Fellow will benefit from ongoing collaboration with the entire senior leadership team and will be intimately involved in an extensive range of strategic clinical and operational projects.
