INTEGRIS Health offers a 14-month administrative fellowship program for emerging healthcare leaders.
The INTEGRIS Health Administrative Fellowship is a 14-month program that prepares emerging leaders for careers in healthcare administration.
Fellows rotate across INTEGRIS Health's integrated system, metro hospitals, rural and specialty facilities and community partners, gaining a rare system-wide view of health care operations. The flexible, project-based format lets fellows tailor their experience to their career goals while contributing directly to organizational priorities.
Fellows at INTEGRIS Health gain hands-on experience across the health system, including:
"I had the opportunity to begin my career at the highest level of a large health system and see firsthand how INTEGRIS Health leaders intentionally drive the organization toward success. I was also mentored by these leaders as we worked together to further the organization's mission. During my fellowship, I had the opportunity to step into an interim role, which allowed me to gain valuable hands-on experience in a hospital setting while continuing to grow professionally. It was an incredible opportunity that I am truly grateful for, and one that has had a lasting impact on my career." - Mark Angus, 2025

"The administrative fellowship program at INTEGRIS Health gives you a level of career experience and professional growth that most healthcare administrators can only hope to receive much later into their professional careers. The fellows have access to every facet of the organization, from shadowing front-line caregivers to being at the table with executive leadership for strategic discussions. This breadth of exposure not only helps you determine your area of professional interest, but also develops a strong foundation for the rest of your career." - Jon Rule, 2009
