AHA Next Generation Fellowship: Call for Nominations and Mentors

AHA Next Gen Leaders Fellowship 1

The American Hospital Association (AHA) has a call for nominations and for Fellowship mentors for the 2025-2026 AHA Next Generation Leaders Fellowship.

The AHA Next Generation Leaders Fellowship focuses on developing leaders and empowering them to bring about real and lasting change to the hospital and health system in which they serve. The program matches fellows with an executive-level mentor who will guide them through the planning and execution of a year-long capstone project at their hospital or health system.

  • Nominations are vital to help identify and train the next generation of health care leaders. This is a competitive fellowship program for health care leaders who are accomplished in their careers and expected to rise to the top of their fields in the next five to ten years. They are leading transformation efforts at department, organization, enterprise and/or system levels.
  • Mentors: AHA is also calling on senior executives willing to share their time and expertise with the next generation of leaders dedicated to achieving the transformation of care for older adults as mentors.

The program aims to select a cohort of leaders who bring diverse perspectives from a variety of settings: clinical, strategy and operational backgrounds. With support of JAHF, AHA offers Age-Friendly Health Systems scholarships for fellows who will develop and implement a project to based on the 4Ms of age-friendly care.
Applications are now due April 14.
