Administrative Fellowship

Providence’s operations are organized into several divisions or lines of business, including Physician Enterprise (PE). PE encompasses all of Providence’s physician practice operations, including medical group and affiliate practices. In terms of provider count, PE represents the third largest medical group in the country, with over 11,000 providers. This includes Providence Medical Group, serving Alaska, Washington, Montana, and Oregon; Swedish Medical Group, with clinics throughout Washington’s greater Puget Sound area; Pacific Medical Centers in western Washington; Kadlec, serving southeast Washington; and numerous medical groups across California, Texas, and eastern New Mexico. Together, these operations account for roughly a quarter of Providence’s workforce and total revenue. In addition to ensuring high-quality, compassionate care, PE’s strategic focuses include restoring the joy of practicing medicine and developing provider networks that excel in value-based payment arrangements.

Two fellows will work at our System office in Irvine with: Dr. David Kim, Providence Physician Enterprise CEO; and Prasanna Mohanty, Physician Enterprise Chief Operating Officer. Projects will primarily be focused on work that impacts the system footprint, including all 7 states.

Two fellows will work at our Southern California Regional office in Anaheim with: Jill Duplechan - Chief Executive, Orange County and High Desert and Dave Mast - Chief Executive, Los Angeles. Projects will primarily be focused on work that impacts the Southern California footprint.

In addition to these preceptors, each fellow will be matched to a high-level manager to provide personalized one on one support throughout the fellowship experience. Fellows will be given the autonomy and support they need to tap into their full potential and become successful healthcare professionals.

In the Southern California region, our network of care includes acute hospital campuses, ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care clinics, ExpressCare clinics, medical offices, home and community care agencies, and other essential services. In addition to these services, Providence also has a risk business involving population health, and partners with medical groups to ensure that the best quality of care is provided to our beneficiaries. For this fellowship track, you will work with the entire regional network of care from a hospital centered lens. Overall, our goal is to establish an integrated delivery network in order to uphold our Providence Promise to our patients.

As a fellow, you will learn to navigate the entire regional health system and touch on the several business lines that make up our region. While acute care may make up a lot of the work, there will be plenty of opportunities to gain experience beyond our ministries (hospitals). You will have the opportunity to take on projects in operations, strategy and/or finance that are impactful and beneficial to the performance of our region. There are two tracks (Strategy and Finance) within the SoCal Region that are described in detail below:

Our Two Tracks

Strategy - The preceptor for the Strategy Track is Kevin Manemann, Chief Executive of the Southern California Region. His primary initiative is to transform the SoCal Region into an integrated delivery network and he and his leadership team are currently laying the groundwork to make this possible. His fellow will play a key role in implementing these important strategic initiatives such as Providence Promise, Patient Journey Mapping, and more. By participating in this work, the fellow will be exposed to the entire continuum of care - acute, ambulatory, medical groups, health networks, etc.

Finance - The preceptor for the Finance Track is Nate Husmann, Chief Financial Officer of the Southern California Region. He handles the financial aspects of the region across all business lines. The Regional Finance team, which supports all 11 ministries in the region, consists of 3 main teams which are Financial Planning and Analysis, Productivity, and Strategic Finance and Decision Support. Not only will the fellow able to learn from these three pillars, but the fellow will have the opportunity to explore non-finance related projects and enhance skills such as project management, data analytics, data engineering, operations, strategy, process improvement, and more. By the end of the fellowship, the fellow will have knowledge of the entire continuum of care - acute, ambulatory, medical groups, health networks, population health, etc.
