Health Affairs Elective Program (HAEP)

Welcome!

The “Health Affairs Elective Program for Residents & Fellows” is designed to provide residents and fellows with direct experience and exposure to the core principles of hospital administrative leadership. This program is sponsored by the Health Affairs department.

Through discussions with senior leadership and interaction with various high-level committees, program participants will observe the processes of hospital operations from a variety of disciplines. This program will offer customized programs based on the specific interests of the resident. Program offerings include a 2-week basic curriculum as well as a **4-week intensive curriculum.

This online course will serve as a companion tool to your experience in the program. Your goals and interests expressed in the course will be summarized and shared with your mentor. The feedback you provide will be used for program improvement, and your identity will be withheld in any related discussions.

The purpose of this is to view the industry from a non-clinical perspective, thus providing a well-rounded to the top down mechanics of a high-reliability organization.

Advisors are an essential part of the HAEP. You will be paired with a mentor based on the response received in your application statement of interest as well as your initial intake assessment. Participants in the 2-week basic course will have a single mentor for the duration of the program. Participants in the extended program will have a second mentor for the second half of their program.
