Why the HKS Health Fellowship?

The HKS Health Fellowship is an opportunity for a recent graduate to get direct access to top Health and Research leaders within the firm and industry, who will provide mentorship and support to impact the industry. The opportunity to spend time researching a topic of interest, coupled with the opportunity to work on influential projects around the world, encourages exploration and a mindset that leads with knowledge.

Where does the Health Fellow work? (office location)

HKS will work with the selected Health Fellow to pair them with the HKS office location and mentorship that can best support their research interests. During the interview stage, fellows can relay their office preference with firm leadership and discuss that office’s ability to support their research.

How long does the fellowship last?

The fellowship is a one-year program in which the fellow splits their time between a designated research project, developed alongside their mentor team, and working alongside project teams within the HKS Health Studio. At the conclusion of the fellowship year, fellows continue working within the health studio as emerging leaders within the firm.
