The ApolloMD Emergency Medicine Administrative Fellowship is an immersive two-year program for new and recent emergency medicine residency graduates with an interest in emergency medicine administration, operations and department leadership. Our comprehensive program provides hands-on involvement and mentorship designed to prepare residency graduates with the leadership, administrative, quality, risk management, research and operational skills necessary to lead an emergency department, hospital, or healthcare system.
