Become a Leader in Health-System Administration

The UPMC Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (HSPAL) Fellowship Program is an integrated program that offers learning experiences at both the system level and through a dedicated scope of responsibility at UPMC Presbyterian. The Fellowship is comprised of practical, real-world experiences in management and leadership to develop skills and behaviors to prepare pharmacists to assume leadership positions in pharmacy practice.

Lead Among the Nation's Best in Pharmacy Practice

UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside, Presbyterian Campus is an academic learning center and serves as the flagship hospital for UPMC. Located in the heart of Oakland, UPMC Presbyterian is an adult medical-surgical referral hospital and a site of ongoing research and graduate programs in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh. Our hospital is a renowned center for organ transplantation and a recognized leader in cardiology with specialties in Cardiothoracic surgery, Critical care medicine, Trauma services, and Neurosurgery. We are designated as a Level I Regional Resource Trauma Center, a nationally certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, and a Comprehensive Pulmonary Hypertension Center.

Practicing at one of the nation’s leading health centers, the program prides itself on its historic relationship with The University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, and offers a unique Mastery of Teaching Recognition, as well as ample opportunities to precept learners. With such a wide variety of opportunities to pursue, the program makes deliberate efforts to understand the passions of its learners and prepare them to enter the workforce among the top in their fields. Health-System Pharmacy Administration & Leadership graduates have a storied history of success given the wide variety of leadership opportunities available, and continue to advance the profession with each generation of learners.

YEAR 1: Pharmacy Integrated Management

The program is designed to provide a clinical and operational foundation of hospital pharmacy care through the first year. This year focuses on applying core leadership principles and management skills as integrated experiences. This includes pharmacy management and operations, finance and budgeting, clinical services, informatics and technology, medication safety, inventory, pharmacy service center/line management, and team collaboration with multidisciplinary groups. The fellow will also spend time in three longitudinal selected areas of interest (SAOI). They will be provided the opportunity to manage and lead projects in a hands-on environment. The fellow will have the opportunity to navigate the changing nature of the healthcare landscape through strong partnerships with administrative leaders where they can develop skills that allow them to respond effectively to these changes in a live environment. This allows them to build the knowledge base of a high-performing leader in a variety of leadership and management environments. This first year also provides the fellow the opportunity to find their passions within pharmacy through exposure to selected areas of interest, interacting with diverse patient populations and medical teams, and refining research and teaching skills as they lead and manage.

YEAR 2: Pharmacy Administrative Practice

The second year focuses on ownership and responsibility of the administrative aspects and skills of clinical, operational, and financial domains of pharmacy. The fellow will develop a detailed understanding of area specific operations and become active members of the local management team. As a result, fellows will gain direct exposure to employee relations issues and have substantial opportunities for project specific work that ties to strategic goals. The area the fellow will own is known as the designated area of interest (DAOI). This will be selected based on fellow interest and department needs. Specific requirements will differ slightly depending on the area of concentration of the particular administrative pathway chosen. This allows fellows to experience the role of a people leader and accountability for performance within their selected area.
