Rotation-Based Management Training

The MLPR features management rotations that are integrated into Duke’s clinical residency program, eliminating the need for residents to choose between pursuing a clinical or management track.  Each MLPR management rotation is project-based, with a clear work product that can be produced in three to six months.  In addition to their individual responsibilities, trainees typically work on a team with other senior health system management, and are fully engaged with the work of that group during the rotation.

Through rotation-based training, MLPR residents are immersed into a variety of disciplines including:

  • Health system management and operations
  • Financial management and planning
  • Quality improvement and safety
  • Health system strategy
  • Health informatics
  • Global strategy and business development
  • Clinical service enterprise management
  • Government Relations
