    Administrative Fellowship Program

    null"

    Sutter Health sponsors an Administrative Fellowship program in an environment that fosters the next generation of health care leaders.

    Master’s-prepared candidates in health care administration or a related field can learn from excellent preceptors and gain hands-on, specialized administrative experience in acute care hospitals, medical groups/foundations and ambulatory care environments.

    It enables future leaders to understand the challenges facing today’s health care delivery systems and provides invaluable insight into the workings of an integrated, not-for-profit health care system.
