Executive Fellowship

Overview

AMCP’s Postdoctoral Executive Fellowship is an immersive, year‑long training program in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area that provides a rich, in‑depth learning experience for a pharmacist interested in a career in health care association leadership or managed care pharmacy. The program reflects AMCP’s dedication to developing leaders in managed care and demonstrates the value of the association as the leading professional association dedicated to increasing access to affordable medicines, improving health outcomes, and ensuring the wise use of health care dollars. As a brand ambassador for AMCP, the Fellow will be exposed to and have the option to meet with external organizations and thought leaders, expanding their knowledge of the broader healthcare ecosystem and building their professional network. The program’s scope includes the Certified Association Executive (CAE) domains and content areas, and the Fellow can customize the second half of the program year to meet their unique career goals. The Fellow works directly with the CEO and other AMCP leaders, serves as an adjunct member of the AMCP Leadership Team, and benefits from weekly, dedicated meeting time with the CEO.
