Summary of Primary Function/General Purpose of Position (2-3 sentences)
The Health Care Administration Leadership and Management (HALM) Fellowship at Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center is an ACGME-accredited program designed to develop physician leaders in health care administration. Offered as a one or two-year fellowship, the program integrates block, longitudinal, and project-based learning to provide comprehensive training. The primary function of the HALM Fellowship is to prepare fellows with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation required to lead and innovate within complex health care systems, shaping the future of health care delivery. Fellows may dedicate a percent of their time to independent clinical practice, with the exact percentage varying based on the duration of the fellowship (one or two-year option). This practice is outside the scope of the fellowship, as fellows are already fully trained in their respective specialties.
