2026-2027 Couris Family Administrative Fellow Program

At TGH, we believe growing and developing leaders is the key to building a pipeline for future administrative talent and leadership. The Couris Family Administrative Fellow Program consists of a two-month rotation with the Executive Vice Presidents and other key leaders to develop a comprehensive understanding of a complex health care system with a strong vision to be the safest and most innovative academic health system in America. Following the rotations, the rest of the year will be project based under the direction of your chosen preceptor, with progress monitoring and evaluation. The fellowship ends with a presentation to the Senior Management Team. As a highly recognized academic medical center, TGH has a rich teaching and training history in medicine, and we aim to provide a world-class teaching experience for future administrative leaders as well.
