Applications for the Nashville Health Care Council's 2019 Fellows class are open through Oct. 19 for healthcare executives from across the country who are looking to explore innovative strategies to improve the American healthcare system.
The fellows program gathers about 30 healthcare leaders for seven intense daylong sessions with a curriculum focused on innovation, driving patient value and improving industry efficiencies. Faculty who facilitate these discussions include Bernard Tyson, CEO of Oakland, Calif.-based Kaiser Permanente and Joseph Swedish, former CEO of Anthem.
The program is co-chaired by former U.S. Sen. Bill Frist, MD, and Larry Van Horn, PhD, a professor of healthcare management and economics at Nashville, Tenn.-based Vanderbilt University. The Council Fellows Advisory Committee will announce the fellows in early December.
"[The] Fellows [program] is a rare opportunity to examine the healthcare industry from all sides and bring leaders from a variety of sectors together to collaborate toward a smarter health care system," said Dr. Frist.
