Residency Information
The administrative residency of The George Washington University's Department of Health Services Management and Leadership (HSML) is the formal period of education and experience during which the student is expected to observe and test administrative and organizational theories and knowledge gained in the didactic phase of the program.
The objectives of the residency are achieved by providing each participant with personal coaching and guidance by a qualified, practicing health services executive and a faculty advisor. The education must be accomplished in an environment where the student begins to develop the ability and confidence necessary to assume significant management responsibility in health services organizations.
Residency Site Placements of HSML Students
The scope of the administrative residency is delineated by a series of program objectives which provide opportunities for the student to:
- become familiar with the management and administrative activities of the organization, along with all significant operations (e.g., board and medical staff committees);
- gain experience and accept responsibility under supervision (i.e., personal coaching and guidance from a practicing health services executive);
- apply and test administrative theories in health services executive work settings;
- develop a personal philosophy of management, concept of executive practice, and clarification of individual career goals; and
- provide the foundation for professional development and advancement, including career placement, professional affiliations, and continuing study.
Detailed information on the residency program can be found in the MHSA Residency Manual.
