Population Health Clinical Fellow

Population Health Fellow

The Mass General Brigham Population Health Services Organization is seeking applicants for the Population Health Fellow position, a one- to two-year fellowship opportunity for primary care and specialty providers who will complete residency training in July 2027 and are interested in advancing their careers in population health, value-based care, health system transformation, and clinical leadership.

The Population Health Fellow will join a multidisciplinary team focused on improving outcomes for patients across Mass General Brigham through value-based care strategies, care model innovation, performance improvement, health equity initiatives, and operational excellence. The Fellow will work closely with population health clinical and operational leaders to understand how programs are designed, implemented, measured, and scaled across a large integrated health system.

The fellowship is designed for board-eligible graduating residents who want to develop the skills needed to lead population health programs and value-based care initiatives. Fellows will spend approximately 30% of their time in clinical practice, with the remaining time dedicated to didactic training, mentorship, project development, program implementation, data analysis, and collaboration with population health medical directors and operational teams.

The fellowship begins in July 2027 and is structured as a one-year program with the possibility of a second year based on program needs, fellow goals, and funding. Fellows are expected to maintain approximately 30% clinical practice time and spend approximately 70% of their time with the Population Health Services Organization. The PHSO team works in a hybrid model, with onsite presence at Mass General Brigham corporate headquarters and other clinical or operational sites as needed.

The Population Health Fellow will participate in a structured education and didactic curriculum designed to build foundational knowledge and applied skills in population health, value-based care, clinical operations, and health system leadership. Didactic time will complement project-based learning and clinical practice, allowing the Fellow to connect concepts from the classroom, leadership meetings, data review, and frontline care delivery.

Upon completion of the fellowship, the Population Health Fellow should be able to:

• Understand the foundational components of population health and value-based care in a large integrated health system.
• Describe financial, operational, clinical, and equity considerations for an Accountable Care Organization.
• Match population health strategies to specific patient populations, clinical needs, and system priorities.
• Analyze program outcomes and make recommendations regarding program scale, sustainability, and scope.
• Lead and manage a project team, including development of a project proposal, workplan, timeline, stakeholder engagement plan, and final deliverables.

Application deadline: December 1, 2026

Decision notification: December 15, 2026

Fellowship begins: July 2027

• Curriculum vitae.

• Confirmation of anticipated completion of residency training by July 2027.

The Population Health Fellow will report to the Fellowship Program Director. Project-specific supervision and mentorship will be provided by population health medical directors, operational leaders, and other subject matter experts based on the Fellow's assigned areas of focus.

The Fellow will work in a hybrid environment that includes clinical practice, virtual and in-person meetings, project work, and onsite collaboration with Population Health teams and stakeholders across Mass General Brigham.
