Geisinger Administrative Fellowship – Experience Design
Healthcare administration meets experience design
Join Geisinger’s Steele Institute for Health Innovation and be part of a brand-new and unique administrative fellowship with an emphasis on design that few (if any!) healthcare organizations offer.
Are you a recent graduate of an MDes program? This is the perfect opportunity to:
- Develop yourself as leader
- Hone your craft in the healthcare industry
- Join a family of like-minded people changing healthcare for the better
Why Geisinger?
Former fellows explain why Geisinger's Administrative Fellowship was the perfect fit for them:
- Fellows solve real-world problems: “The Geisinger fellowship encourages you to chart your own course. I think I’ve been successful because open-minded preceptors allowed me to work on a diverse portfolio of projects.”
- Fellows form deep, lasting bonds with mentors: “The important thing about the fellowship is that it not only led to my first job, but to the next one and the next one. All the learning and experience, plus those foundational relationships, really set my career trajectory.”
- Fellows benefit from a robust peer network: “From the exposure to leadership to the fact that I could see our strategy being executed every day, my fellowship was excellent. I also found an instant social and professional network with current and former fellows.”
- Fellows get a longitudinal experience in an integrated health system: “Geisinger fellows are at the intersection of a hospital system, community health and Geisinger Health Plan. My experiences spanned these areas and included helping to lead innovative initiatives like Geisinger at Home... My fellowship gave me real-world experience with real-world impact. There’s just no substitute for being on the hot seat.”
