Job description

Administrative Fellow – HealthPartners/Park Nicollet

HealthPartners is seeking an Administrative Fellow to join our organization for a one-year, post-graduate fellowship beginning in summer 2027.

Job Description

HealthPartners is seeking an Administrative Fellow to join our organization for a one-year, post-graduate fellowship beginning in summer 2027.

The HealthPartners Administrative Fellowship is designed to develop future health care leaders following completion of a master’s degree in health care administration or a related field. The fellowship provides an opportunity to build upon graduate education through meaningful, hands-on leadership experiences within a complex, integrated health care organization.

Rather than following a predetermined rotation or curriculum, each fellow’s experience will be shaped around two things: the fellow’s professional interests and development goals, and the strategic priorities of HealthPartners. This approach allows fellows to gain broad exposure to health care leadership while contributing to work that is important to the organization.

Throughout the fellowship, the Administrative Fellow will work directly with senior leaders across HealthPartners and have opportunities to:

• Lead and contribute to strategic, operational and organizational initiatives.


• Take ownership of meaningful project-based work with measurable organizational impact.


• Gain exposure to leaders, teams and functions across an integrated health care system.


• Develop a deeper understanding of health care operations, strategy, finance and organizational leadership.


• Apply concepts and skills developed through graduate education to complex, real-world health care challenges.


• Build the leadership capabilities, relationships and experiences necessary to prepare for future leadership opportunities.

At the beginning of the fellowship, the fellow and organizational leaders will jointly establish goals and experiences that balance the fellow’s professional development interests with HealthPartners’ strategic needs. These goals will evolve throughout the year as the fellow gains experience and new opportunities emerge.
