Fellowships
Healthcare Administration, Leadership, and Management (HALM) Fellowship
The Healthcare Administration, Leadership, and Management (HALM) Fellowship is a non-ACGME accredited program open to board certified/eligible graduates of Emergency Medicine residency programs. The fellowship duration is either 1 year without a business degree or 2 years with a concurrent Executive Master of Business Administration (MBA) through the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management. As part of the 2-year fellowship, the tuition and related expenses for the Executive MBA degree will be paid by the department.
The HALM Fellowship provides an opportunity for hands-on experience with departmental and hospital leaders in operational and quality meetings, didactic experiences, journal clubs, project management, and executive meetings. HALM fellows will be integrated into the UMMC ED leadership team and clinically work in UMMC ED’s as independently-practicing Staff (Attending) Physicians. Completion of this fellowship, as well as an MBA in the 2-year curriculum, will directly lead to leadership opportunities within our department or other academic departments of Emergency Medicine or hospital systems.
