The Executive Mentor Program

Every student in the graduate program is teamed with a successful health care executive mentor for as long as they are at Georgetown. Having an executive mentor provides direct and continuing contact with an executive who is facing the challenge of management every day.

The mentors advise on career interests, part-time jobs, managing the job search, course related projects, etc. The student and mentor meet soon after the student arrives and then arrange to meet at least every two months thereafter.

Participants in the mentor program includes executives at Washington Hospital Center, Georgetown University Hospital, Georgetown Medical Group Practice, Sibley Long Term Care Services, Laurel Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital , Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, Hospital for Sick Children Foundation, Sibley Memorial Hospital, Laurel Regional Hospital, Health Services for Children with Special Needs, and the Washington Nursing Facility.

There is an EMP advisory committee that plans and evaluates the program. It is chaired by Dr. Gary Filerman and includes Linda Winger, vice president of the Georgetown University Hospital (MSHA Oklahoma), Michael Sachtleben, executive director of Georgetown Physicians Group (MHA, UNC) and Mark Pollard, Administrator, Georgetown University Department of Surgery (MHSA, Michigan).
