Throughout the application process, applicants are evaluated on achievement in graduate coursework, relevant professional and personal experiences, the personal statement, and letters of recommendation. Applicants should be able to demonstrate general knowledge of Cone Health, professionalism, leadership potential, and overall fit with the organizational culture.

At this time, Cone Health is unable to provide visa sponsorship for individuals participating in the Administrative Fellowship Program.

The Administrative Fellowship Selection Committee will select three to six top-qualified candidates to participate in face-to-face interviews at Cone Health.

Cone Health currently selects one Fellow during each application period.

The Fellowship is a two-year program, which allows each Fellow to gain a comprehensive understanding of Cone Health as a large, complex healthcare organization through rotations in core areas. The length of the Fellowship also allows Fellows to develop meaningful relationships with senior leaders, build upon foundational skills obtained through an academic program, and gain significant professional experience.

Fellows are paid an annual salary that is competitive with other nationally-ranked administrative fellowship programs around the country. In addition, Fellows receive the full benefits package that is available to all full-time employees of Cone Health.

Relocation assistance will be provided to support the new Fellow in moving to his/her new location if needed.

At the beginning of the Fellowship, Fellows work with their Preceptor to outline their goals and objectives for both the Fellowship and their long-term careers. Throughout the program, Fellows continue to discuss these objectives with their Preceptor and other mentors, and are encouraged to continually seek out experiences that will help them to achieve these goals. Learn more about professional development opportunities provided by Cone Health.

Although it is the hope and intent of the fellowship that a Fellow will continue working for Cone Health, there is no formal obligation from either party to either offer or accept a position post-fellowship. Fellows typically begin discussions with Preceptors and other mentors regarding post-fellowship employment six months prior to the end of their Fellowship. Many Fellows have been successful in obtaining permanent roles within Cone Health.

At Cone Health, we emphasize “care” in both word and deed. Our caring behavior is central to our organizational culture and corporate citizenship. Unlike some organizations, we actually “walk the talk.” We put people first by listening, by holding ourselves and others accountable for living up to our obligations, by assuming the best of others, by encouraging partnership and collaboration, by celebrating achievements, by thanking at least one person each day, by communicating honestly, by respecting differences and by being inclusive of others. We don’t just write our values down, we live them.

At Cone Health, we value and are accountable for Caring for Our Patients, Caring for Each Other and Caring for Our Communities.
