Management Fellowship
The Management Fellowship is a highly selective program aimed at growing the company’s future leaders by providing them with intensive exposure to all parts of CTCA.
The Fellows Program is not an internship but rather an experiential development track that accelerates growth in management talent by using rotational assignments over a two-year period to immerse the manager candidate in a variety of business challenges and organizational dynamics. Unlike other Fellowships, the assignments will focus on leading, influencing and facilitating the most strategic work in our business. Throughout his or her rotations, the Fellow is supported by and reports to a Learning Coach (typically the VP of Talent), a mentor from the top management team (CEO or direct report), and assignment-based coaches in the form of key business leaders.
 | The Program is structured to provide the Fellow: |
- A solid working knowledge of CTCA and the entities that comprise it;
- Exposure to the management team and the Board of Directors, as well as key outside relationships;
- A series of solid, measurable rotations where the Fellow contributes to each business unit during assignments;
- Strong working relationships, rapport and support with all CTCA associates;
- Application and testing of administrative and leadership theories in practical work situations;
- A personal philosophy of management and clarification of individual career goals;
- A strong working knowledge of CTCA’s strategy, planning cycle, business development, budgeting and accountability processes.
In addition to the standard rotational assignments described above, Fellows are expected to actively participate in all corporate and operational board meetings. Plus, each Fellow will have the opportunity to take part in executive planning sessions, sit on the corporate board committees, and become involved with various strategic teams throughout the organization. These are not passive roles but rather opportunities for the Fellow to play an active role in developing the future of CTCA. While these opportunities are rare in many other companies, they are vital to the Management Fellowship as they offer Fellows the opportunity to work with and learn from the brightest minds in and around our organization.
| | Example Rotations |
A Fellow’s options are rarely limited when it comes to choosing a rotational assignment. While rotations through more traditional departments such as sales, marketing, finance or operations are more common, there are many opportunities for involvement elsewhere in the company. For instance, a Fellow may chose to spend a rotation working with our not-for-profit Cancer Treatment Research Foundation to enhance their annual report and develop a strategic plan to increase donor activity.
Other rotations may include specialties within a larger department. For instance, a Fellow might be responsible for compiling the Medicare Cost Report for one of our hospitals. This extensive project would include months of work with the operational, marketing, and finance teams to accurately report how each department throughout the company interrelates to offer reimbursable services to our patients.
In short, there are infinite rotational options available to Fellows. Many Fellows have chosen specialties that have led to full time jobs after they completed the Fellowship, and all of the Fellows have had the freedom to select assignments that met their own personal interests.
