Our Healthcare Leadership and Management Fellowship is an Administrative Fellowship preparing Emergency Medicine physicians for future leadership roles in healthcare delivery.
Healthcare delivery has become increasingly complex, requiring physician leaders to develop a skill set not often obtained through traditional medical education or residency training. New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine is proud to offer a one or two-year, non-ACGME accredited Healthcare Leadership and Management (HLM) Fellowship through the Department of Emergency Medicine.
The mission of the HLM Fellowship is to cultivate physician leaders. HLM Fellows will be exposed to all aspects of the Core Emergency Department (ED) Leadership Team including operations, quality, innovations, technology, and many others. In addition, HLM Fellows will interface with leadership from New York-Presbyterian (NYP) Hospital. Direct mentorship will be provided by Fellowship Leadership, Core ED Leadership Team, and Department Chairman. Fellows will be given an academic appointment at Weill Cornell Medicine in the Department of Emergency Medicine. Overall, HLM Fellows will gain experience in leadership and management within an innovative Department associated with a top-tier hospital and a top-tier medical school.
Curriculum
Active participation in administrative and leadership meetings is expected. Examples of such work groups include:
HLM Fellows will work the equivalent of 20 clinical hours per week and have opportunities to moonlight in the Weill Cornell and Lower Manhattan Emergency Departments. As ED Faculty, HLM Fellows will supervise Residents and Advanced Practice Providers in clinical areas. HLM Fellows clinical shifts will be structured to accommodate the required Executive MBA/MS courses and corresponding requirements.
HLM Fellows will act as teaching Faculty in our 8-week HLM Scholars program for Weill Cornell Medical Students, where leadership-focused medical students participate in an intensive summer immersion program. HLM Fellows will become teaching faculty in NYP Emergency Medicine Residency's Academic Practice Track in Administration, a longitudinal learning experience for PGY 1-4 EM Residents with a distinct interest in administrative careers.
HLM Fellows will have opportunity to meet one-on-one with several executives from Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Presbyterian. These career development conversations are crucial for professional growth and provide HLM Fellows with a mental framework for their future careers in healthcare leadership and management.
HLM Fellows will participate and lead quarterly journal clubs, which focus on areas of leadership development and healthcare management. Attendees include Faculty, Nursing, and Advanced Practice Provider leadership, ED Administration leaders, as well as leadership-focused Residents from NYP EM Residency.
HLM Fellows will lead a project during the latter portion of the Fellowship. Capstone project scope will depend on HLM Fellow’s career goals and NYP Hospital and EM Departmental needs.
HLM Fellows will be expected to publish, write, or speak about their capstone projects or about any other topics for which they are passionate. Examples include: writing an opinion piece for a professional media source, publishing an operational study in a professional journal, or lecturing at a local Residency conference.
For two-year HLM Fellows, they will fully integrate as an EMBA/MS graduate student in the Cornell University’s SC Johnson College of Business. This fully-funded degree experience will provide professional networking and unparalleled exposure to experts in their respective healthcare leadership disciplines.
