There are six Administrative Fellows accepted into the program each year, for a total of twelve Fellows in the overall cohort between first and second years. The SCAL program structure is unique because the cohorts actively recruit and are made up of three traditional Administrative Fellows (MHA/MBA, etc.), two RN Fellows, and one Military Fellow. The diversity of the cohort creates a wide range of perspectives and interests that are integrated into the organization.

The project work of the Fellows is based upon their interests and the strategic goals of their respective medical center. This allows the Fellow to have flexibility in their experience as well as the ability to contribute to high priority initiatives that have high exposure and visibility. Examples of projects completed by the 2018-2019 Fellows include:

• Decreasing sepsis rates
• Telehealth pilot
• Opening of state-of-the-art behavioral health facility
• Flu planning
• Interim Assistant Department Administrator
• Interim Director of Care Experience
• Interim Administrative Services Supervisor
• Interim EVS Manager
• Para-operative services and education/workflow redesign
• Staff and employee engagement initiatives

Former Fellows can be found in positions throughout the entire organization, at the medical center, regional office, and national office.

Examples of positions Fellows have transitioned into post-Fellowship:

• Department Administrator
• Assistant Department Administrator
• Service Unit Manager
• Group Practice Lead
• Executive Consultant
• Senior Consultant
• Project Manager
