“The Administrative Fellowship with Emerson Practice Associates provided me with an excellent physician practice management/ambulatory operations experience. With the support of my preceptor and my colleagues, I developed a strong foundation that I will continue to build upon throughout my career in health administration. In addition to day-to-day practice operations, I gained extensive experience in staff recruitment, revenue cycle management, and patient relations, and I completed several special projects that involved partnering with external organizations. I am excited to continue at Emerson Practice Associates following my fellowship as a Manager in the Primary Care Practices.”

“The administrative fellowship with Emerson Practice Associates is an excellent opportunity to develop a practice management skillset, in a supportive learning environment, that is essential to a career in healthcare leadership. The unique structure of the fellowship enabled me to experience the various facets of ambulatory care, laying the groundwork for success as a manager shortly after completing the fellowship program. I believe that the continued support I have received beyond the fellowship will enable me to grow as an early-career professional. I stayed at Emerson Health following my fellowship in a manager position.”

These experiences gave me the skills needed to be a successful healthcare leader.”

“Serving as a fellow at Emerson Practice Associates provided an excellent opportunity to develop essential skills and experiences for practice management. Working alongside seasoned healthcare leaders on a broad array of challenges, I gained confidence as an early-career professional in healthcare. As a fellow, you have the fluidity to explore different facets of a growing health system while providing impactful contributions to the development of EPA.

“I am confident that my fellowship experience with Emerson Practice Associates has shaped me into an effective healthcare leader, particularly as an early careerist. While the didactic portion of my Master of Health Administration program provided me with a foundational knowledge of healthcare management, Emerson gave me the platform to translate education to practice. The comprehensive experience afforded me the opportunity for hands-on involvement in various departments, including provider engagement, operations, and revenue cycle management, as well as the responsibility of overseeing two outpatient practices. In a period when the consolidation and acquisition of outpatient practices by healthcare systems is occurring at an unprecedented rate, the opportunity to acquire the skill set to manage such locations of care effectively is invaluable. The fellowship with Emerson Practice Associates delivered that chance and more.”
