In the second episode of BYOB: The Healthcare Podcast, the team bring a special format to highlight four healthcare leaders across the country who all completed their respective administrative fellowships within the last few years. This episode follows the interview with Nick Anstine in the first episode and aims to prepare students who are currently in the application process themselves to learn from four direct examples of how these leaders prepared for their journey to acquire a spot in their administrative fellowships.
