Administrative Fellowship Application
Michigan Medicine is committed to developing a diverse and collaborative organization. A selection committee representing leaders from across Michigan Medicine review applications. A select number of applicants will be called for telephone interviews. Upon completion of telephone interviews, the most qualified candidates will be scheduled for onsite interviews. The final selection will be made shortly after onsite interviews are completed. Up to three individuals will be annually selected as fellows for the Michigan Medicine Administrative Fellowship Program.
