Learning Health System Fellowship
Providing experience in stimulating change within a complex health system
In this time of remarkable transformation in the healthcare system, payors and providers are seeking innovative strategies to provide higher quality care at lower cost. The University of Pittsburgh and UPMC—a partnership both unique and effective in the way it brings together an integrated health system with its own health plan, and an academic institution with a significant track record of scientific and intellectual progress—are leading the way in conceiving of new possibilities for innovation and reform.
