Post-Graduate Management Fellowship
The Post-Graduate Fellowship at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) was founded by Mr. Roger C. Cary, who is the Chief Operating Officer of CTCA and the former President and CEO of CTCA at Midwestern Regional Medical Center. For more than 10 years, Mr. Cary has helped to lead the organization towards delivering a higher standard—the Mother Standard® of care. More than a gold standard, the Mother Standard® reflects the way members of our care team would want their own mothers, fathers, brothers, or sisters to be treated if they had cancer. With the primary focus of patient care, Mr. Cary was able to achieve record-breaking growth, thus leading to acquisition and construction of our newest hospitals in Philadelphia and Phoenix. Based on his knowledge of the healthcare environment, Mr. Cary understands the importance of recruitment and development of talent. Although our Post-Graduate Fellowship Program is relatively new (circa 2004), many of its past fellows remain within the organization in critical roles.
An Exciting Program
CTCA is excited to offer a one-year Post-Graduate Fellowship to master’s-prepared early healthcare careerists. The program provides an opportunity to work directly with hospital leadership teams on strategic and operational objectives.
You’ll find our mission to win the fight against cancer inspiring—and our program delivers a challenging experience that will accelerate your development and prepare you for a leadership role at one of our hospitals. Our network includes facilities in Zion, Illinois; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Goodyear, Arizona.
Our Post-Graduate Fellowship Program is designed to offer you an opportunity to learn from our leaders, develop your own leadership style and utilize your skills in the day-to-day operations of our fast-growing, dynamic hospital system. Over the course of the year, you’ll be based at one of our hospitals and will gain a broad range of exposure to all areas of CTCA.
