The UVA Medical Center Administrative Fellowship Program provides individuals with a postgraduate 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 firsthand 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. The term "structured flexibility" most accurately describes the design of the fellowship. The content of the experience is tailored to best match the individual's educational and organizational development needs. As such the following components and characteristics provide a basic framework for defining the fellowship experience.
