The Administration Mini-Fellowship will be a learning and networking group. We welcome anyone from those who are trying to figure out what "administration" means to those who are already set on a career in health care leadership. Dr. Mehta is our adviser.


All Google Group members have editing access to the publicly viewable Admin Google Calendar which is intended to house our events and any hospital or departmental meetings open to residents. We also maintain an informal Whatsapp group with residents interested in policy & admin.


You are encouraged to join the EMRA Health Policy and/or Admin/Operations Committee List-serves.


Our activities will include the following: 

  • We will agree on a curriculum of topics, assign a topic facilitator, and meet to discuss. Not intended to be journal club format. Intent is to learn fundamentals.

      • Operations: ED throughput, staffing models, process improvement (six sigma, lean)

      • Management: managing teams, conflict resolution, running meetings
