Members of Johns Hopkins leadership share their thoughts and insight on the Johns Hopkins Medicine Administrative Fellowship program.

Redonda Miller

“At Johns Hopkins Medicine, we have a rich history of nurturing extraordinary talent in all facets of our work. Our JHM Administrative Fellowship program begins by identifying thinkers and doers with potential to be super stars in health care administration and then introduces them to the frontline work. The bonus for us is that so many of our administrative fellows are inspired by the collaborative and forward-thinking culture here and choose to remain at Hopkins after their two years. I count many former fellows among my closest colleagues and am grateful for their insights and deep expertise.”

“The JHM Administrative Fellowship Program is an excellent opportunity for fellows to gain practical experience across a multitude of different healthcare settings, while also obtaining real-time feedback and perspective from seasoned healthcare leaders. I am honored to share my professional and personal experiences with the next generation of healthcare leaders..”

“Johns Hopkins Medicine is at its heart a teaching institution. There are world-class providers and researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine who are always willing to share their expertise and knowledge in a way that helps shape health care delivery and policy. The pace of change of health care delivery and policy is increasing, with a focus on decreased costs and improved patient safety and quality. Johns Hopkins Medicine has always been at the forefront of health care innovation, and today is no different. The JHM Administrative Fellows always bring a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to health care policy issues that reinvigorate efforts to make positive changes to health care reform.”

"It is a privilege to work with the diverse cohort of fellows that enter the program each year, chosen from the very best and brightest applicants. These future leaders will shape and transform the future of health care delivery for generations to come. Their partnership with our health system pharmacy administration and leadership pharmacy residents represents an outstanding model for interprofessional education and collaboration. Through their intellectual curiosity and commitment to excellence, the JHM Administrative Fellows inspire us all in our own leadership!"

“The JHM Administrative Fellowship is a cornerstone of our institution in terms of talent acquisition. The program is a built-in talent pipeline of future administrative leaders that will push our organization into the future. I’m proud to participate in this process and cultivate the future of Hopkins.”

Melissa Helicke, M.B.A., M.H.A.

“Serving as a JHM administrative fellow has been one of the single greatest decisions in my career. Though the structure has evolved since I completed the fellowship, the basic tenants very much remain true. The fellowship provides a solid base of experience in a condensed time frame, a broad understanding of an academic health system and launches relationships with mentors and leaders that are invaluable. Fellows continue to be a vital part of the fabric of JHM, serving in important roles throughout JHM and valued as future leaders. I love serving as preceptor for the fellowship, I enjoy getting to know the new fellows, learning from the fellows, supporting their growth, and being a part of the JHM teaching mission.”
