The Administrative Fellowship program offers a unique opportunity to learn about the values, mission, and structure of Texas Children’s.

Fellows will work closely with the executive leadership team throughout the program on strategic projects that further the organization’s mission and needs.

They will attend executive-level and Board of Trustees meetings throughout the program to gain valuable insight into the organization’s direction and top challenges facing healthcare and leadership.
