In my first week as a Healthcare Management Fellow at UCSF Health , our managers gave me a rule for the hard calls: when you don't know what to do, do what's best for the patient. I trained as a physician, so I took that as my canvas. Now the work is how care runs; operations, strategy, and the technology that connects them.
Grateful to the UCSF team that made room for me, and to The Johns Hopkins University - Carey Business School and the mentors who prepared me for it: Spencer Twigg, FACHE, Joseph T. Heesacker, MHA, MBA, Maisie Lewis, and Michael Pham, EdD, MBA, MPA.
UCSF Health is one of California's top-ranked health systems, and it is still trying to grow. Doing that in a state this heavily regulated is hard, which is exactly why you learn so much, so fast. If you are finishing an MHA, MBA, or MPH and want that, look at UCSF Health's 2027-2029 Healthcare Management Fellowship!
