The Michigan Medicine Administrative Fellowship is a two-year program designed to provide an exceptional foundation for those seeking a career in academic health center administration. The fellowship offers the unique experience to work closely with and learn from administrative and clinical leaders in a health system which includes both a top ranked medical school and hospital and health centers.

The Michigan Medicine Administrative Fellowship Executive Leadership Team is comprised of: Matthew Comstock - Chief Operating Officer, University of Michigan Medical School; Tony Denton (former administrative fellow) - Senior VP and Chief Environmental, Social, and Governance Officer - U-M Health; and Dr. Charles (Charlie) Reuland - Chief Operations Integration Officer, U-M Health. Fellows regularly meet with members of the Senior Leadership Team forming mentor-relationships. Early meetings focus on building institutional knowledge of the health system, discussion of goals and interests and potential project and rotation opportunities. Altogether, with additional health system leadership, Fellows are provided professional guidance and personalized developmental support throughout their fellowship experiences.

Year one of the fellowship emphasizes high-impact project work aimed at advancing institutional priorities while cultivating core health care leadership competencies. Fellows also support executive-level meetings to observe first hand enterprise management and decision making.

Year two of the fellowship is structured as a customizable immersion that thoughtfully allows for continued growth and contribution to the health system. During the immersion, the fellow serves as an embedded resource under the direction and mentorship of preceptors and supervision of selected area leads. Through progressively more rigorous responsibilities, the fellow will work on initiatives that further align and integrate the clinical, research, and educational missions of the academic medical center.

The cornerstone of the fellowship at Michigan Medicine is the opportunity to immediately participate and directly add value to institutional priorities working alongside health system leadership. The fellowship at Michigan Medicine is focused on continuous learning and is committed to developing the best and brightest talent to lead health care and academic medicine.
