The Administrative Residency is a program designed for individuals seeking a career in health management and working to assume leadership positions in the healthcare delivery system.

Residents get the opportunity to actively participate in and lead projects in the hospital, physician practice operations, regional headquarters, and critical access hospital (CAH) environments with the heaviest emphasis on acute care management.
