Trinity University requires that
all students in the On-campus Program complete a 12-month
Administrative
Residency. The goal of this Administrative
Residency is to provide students with a practical understanding
of and appreciation for the interrelationships between the
clinical and administrative sides of health care. The residency
is an essential component of the educational process at Trinity
University and the final phase of graduate study. We believe
management is a practical discipline, and the Administrative
Residency allows students to apply conceptual knowledge learned
in the classroom to everyday situations.
More than 1,200 students have been placed in residencies
throughout the United States since 1966. Residency placements
cover the full range of health care settings, including
acute-care hospitals, managed care organizations, consulting
firms, long-term care facilities, and physician group practices.
Placements are arranged between the department's Director of
Residencies, students, and Preceptors. The Preceptor is a senior
executive who agrees to guide the student through the residency
and provide a comprehensive learning experience.
A Faculty Advisor is also assigned to each resident and makes an
on-site visit during the residency period. Administrative
Residents are required to complete three papers and maintain
contact with their Faculty Advisors. Residents are paid a
stipend and considered full-time students for financial aid
reasons while enrolled for six credit hours. Below is a list of past
and present Administrative Residency placements. Residency
placements vary from year to year.
