UTMB Administrative Residency

Staff Interaction

A significant portion of the administrative resident’s time will be spent interacting with the executive staff. This may be accomplished in various ways, including attending meetings, working on projects, and discussing health care issues on a one-on-one basis. It is expected that each member of the executive staff provides full access, when appropriate, to his or her meetings and departments. Through this exposure the resident should fulfill the following objectives:

To learn the current issues, projects, and activities of each executive staff member’s areas of responsibility
To assess the managerial styles of the executive staff members
To analyze their decision-making processes and discuss the reasons behind specific decisions with them
To build an understanding of the professional code of ethics that guides health care administrators
To learn of the unique nature and challenges of an academic medical center
