Recent graduates or students currently enrolled in an accredited MHA, MPH, MBA or a related master’s degree program, are eligible to apply.
Please note that if your degree was conferred prior to January 1, 2024, you are no longer eligible for our Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Administrative Fellowship Program, which is scheduled to begin the Summer of 2025.
Rick Majzun is the Executive Sponsor of the Administrative Fellowship program. The Administrative Fellows will report directly to Rishi Seth, VP Operations. Additionally, the rotation Sponsor and rotation leaders will all support the fellow throughout the duration of the assigned project or rotation length.
Yes, we allow for applicants who need a fellowship in order to complete their master’s degree.
Administrative Fellows are considered full-time employees and are paid a competitive salary for the 2-year duration of the program. As such, the fellow is eligible for employee benefits including health insurance coverage, retirement savings, and paid time off.
The Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Administrative Fellowship Program accepts applications via email and through the NCAF portal and adheres to the NCAF application timeline, and as such, application materials will be due by September 27, 2024, and a final decision will be made in mid-October.
The Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Administrative Fellowship program aims to develop emerging leaders who will continue at Stanford Children’s Health post-fellowship. However, there exists no formal obligation for post-fellowship retention for either the organization or the fellow after the 24-month period.
We accept one Fellow each year to complete a 2-year program. The two year time frame for the upcoming cycle is from 2025 – 2027.

The fellowship program follows a schedule of six-month rotations, including: 1. Inpatient Operations, 2. Outpatient Operations, 3. Strategy and Business Development, and 4. Rotation of Fellow’s Choosing. While it is recommended the fellow follow this order, there is significant flexibility to adjust the duration of rotations, as well as explore other areas of interest. Previously, fellows have chosen to extend certain rotations, complete a shorter rotation in an area of their interest, and/or complete a special project that has emerged during the fellowship. In addition, the fellow will have 25% of their time spent working on projects sponsored directly by our COO, Rick Majzun and CEO, Paul King.
Though an independent pediatric health care system, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health has a strong partnership with Stanford Health Care. The fellow gains exposure to this system through working with shared services and involvement in strategic planning between Stanford Health Care, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health and the Stanford School of Medicine. Please note, Stanford Health Care also offers an Administrative Fellowship program.
