- About the UPMC ISD Administrative Fellowship Track
The two-year Insurance Services Division (ISD) fellowship is a leadership development program that serves as means to develop a broad experience in fellows' career that will foster their professional development within the Insurance Services Division of UPMC.
ISD Fellows will rotate through UPMC Insurance Services Division (UPMC Health Plan, Workpartners, and Community Care Behavioral Health Organization), have an externship to another UPMC location, and have an optional rotation in an area of the fellows' choosing.
Each rotation will serve as a learning experience for fellows by testing their abilities, as well as instilling applicable system and divisional knowledge related to the strategic plan and vision of the organization. Fellows will work with their rotation preceptor to develop goals and expectations for the rotation. Applicable project(s) work will be assigned within each rotation in order to ensure fellows' progress is meeting the expectations of the program. ISD fellows may also be assigned projects that span the entire two-year fellowship program.
In addition to departmental designated projects, fellows will also have the opportunity to seek out projects that meet their personal career objectives. At the end of the program, fellows will work closely with their preceptors in finding employment opportunities within the organization.
