Open Positions
Fellowship Program
The annual Health Policy Commission (HPC) Summer Fellowship Program has dual goals of helping to achieve the Commonwealth’s health care reform and cost containment goals while simultaneously providing hands-on educational opportunities to the next generation of health policy leaders. Each year, the Fellowship Program affords students the opportunity to engage in a ten-week, stand-alone policy or research project within one of the HPC’s departments. As temporary full-time employees, fellows work closely with their supervisors to ensure they meet project benchmarks, deliver key presentations, and meet deadlines.
Applicants to this highly competitive program must be enrolled in a full-time master’s, PhD, law, or medical program. The application period opens in late December, and the opportunity will be posted under ‘Open Positions’ on this page. The program generally runs from Early June through mid-August.
To learn more about the program, including completed projects and reflections from fellows, please review the HPC’s Summer Fellowship Program Reports.
