Sentara Administrative Fellowship Program

Sentara Health invites candidates to apply for the Sentara Administrative Fellowship Program beginning in June 2027. This nationally competitive program seeks individuals with strong communication and management skills who aim to complement their graduate education within a leading integrated healthcare organization.

The fellowship is based within Sentara Health, with many experiences located in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

The Sentara Administrative Fellowship is a two-year program that provides fellows with the opportunity to support strategic and operational initiatives across the enterprise through rotational and project-based experiences.

Fellows contribute to team-based projects, conduct research and analysis, and assist in implementing key initiatives while gaining exposure to diverse operational areas. Fellows also engage with leadership through Board meeting attendance and small-group discussions with leaders across the organization.

Applicants must:

• Completion of a graduate-level degree (CAHME, AUPHA, or AACSB accreditation is common).
• If enrolled, applicants must be on course to complete the didactic portion before the fellowship start date in June 2027; the program may be used to fulfill a programmatic residency requirement.
• Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available.
