Our Process
Hospital Medicine Administration and Management is a complex process and requires unique knowledge and skills that are often unattainable in a conventional Medicine residency. Learning proper Hospital Medicine Administration often takes years of trial and error and on-the-job training. Therefore, we designed this fellowship to allow for the rapid growth of critical Hospital Medicine management skills by completing an intensive one-year curriculum combining academic rigor with community practice set in the Greater Los Angeles area.
Benchmark’s Hospital Medicine Administrative Fellowship is proud to collaborate with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Haslam College of Business to offer fellows the opportunity to pursue the Physician Executive MBA (PEMBA). This one-year, physician-only executive MBA is designed specifically for practicing clinicians and equips fellows with advanced training in finance, strategy, operations, and healthcare leadership—complementing the fellowship’s hands-on administrative and clinical experience.
Through PEMBA’s blended format of quarterly in-person residencies and distance learning, fellows can continue their clinical and administrative responsibilities while developing executive-level business acumen. The program’s Organizational Action Project aligns seamlessly with Benchmark’s real-world leadership platform, enabling fellows to apply strategic, financial, and operational principles directly within our hospital systems.
We are currently seeking applicants for the 2026–2027 Fellowship year, with the fellowship beginning September 2026 as a 16-month program, and formal enrollment in the PEMBA program beginning January 2027.
Together, Benchmark and UT Haslam are committed to developing the next generation of physician leaders—equipping them to drive innovation, improve quality, and shape the future of hospital medicine at the local, state, and national levels.
