Former Fellow Testimonials
To be an effective leader in the healthcare industry, one must understand the challenges that face health care institutions, be cognizant fo the concerns of the clinicians and staff, and manage incentives, which are often competing with each other, to drive an organization forward. The Deland Fellowship prepares Fellows to shape the delivery of healthcare by providing an opportunity to learn about these issues with astonishing breadth and depth.

Deland Fellow 2007-2008
The structure of the Deland Fellowship allowed me the opportunity and privilege to gain exposure to all aspects of the hospital. On a particular day I was able to shadow a nurse on the inpatient floor, shadow a physician in the emergency room, sit in on a Board of Trustees meeting, and meet with the Chief of Neurology. During another opportunity I saw an in vitro fertilization procedure and soon after I went to the embryology lab to see how the actual fertilization occurred. The opportunities and learning experiences throughout this Fellowship were endless.

Deland Fellow 2006-2007
The complexity of Brigham and Women’s Hospital has provided a dynamic environment in which to build a foundation of skills in hospital administration. From shadowing experiences, to meeting observation, to project-based work, the year of the Deland Fellowship has been replete with learning experiences at every turn – in truth, there has never been a dull day.
