Healthcare delivery has become increasingly complex, requiring physician leaders to develop a skill set not often obtained through traditional medical education or residency training. New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine is proud to offer a one or two-year, non-ACGME accredited Healthcare Leadership and Management (HLM) Fellowship through the Department of Emergency Medicine.

The mission of the HLM Fellowship is to cultivate physician leaders. HLM Fellows will be exposed to all aspects of the Core Emergency Department (ED) Leadership Team, including operations, quality, innovations, technology, and many others. Direct mentorship will be provided by Fellowship Leadership, Core ED Leadership Team, and Department Chair. Fellows will be given an academic appointment at Weill Cornell Medicine in the Department of Emergency Medicine. Overall, Fellows will gain exposure and experience in leadership and management in a top-tier hospital and a top-tier medical school.

Application process

The competitive application process seeks up to two (2) Fellows per year for a one-year or two-year Fellowship
Ideal candidates will be recent graduates of an Emergency Medicine Residency with a proven track record of leadership (e.g. Chief Resident, hospital committee leadership, etc.), who wish to accelerate their careers as physician leaders and seek an advanced management degree.
The one-year Fellowship option is encouraged for those with graduate-level management degrees or those who do not wish to obtain one, who seek an immersive experience into ED and hospital leadership roles.
The two-year Fellowship option is encouraged for those seeking a fully paid Executive MBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership program offered through Weill Cornell Medicine and the Cornell University SC Johnson College of Business concurrently with the ED leadership experience.
As a prerequisite, all HLM Fellowship candidates seeking the two-year Fellowship must meet criteria for acceptance to the Executive MBA/MS program and must participate in the same application process as all other Executive MBA/MS applicants.
