Selection Process
A selection committee representing healthcare leaders from across U of U Health reviews all fellowship applications. Once applications are reviewed, the selection committee selects a number of applicants for phone interviews. Of those candidates, the most qualified will be invited for on-site interviews to meet with U of U Health's executive leadership team.
The final selection and offer will be extended after the on-site interview, by late October. One individual is selected as the 2026-2027 U of U Medical Group administrative fellow.
