Kelsey began her journey as the second Administrative Fellow at WVU Medicine in July 2022. She chose the fellowship at WVU Medicine because it offered a unique blend of rotational and project-based experiences, along with an interim management role during the final six months. What set the WVU Medicine fellowship apart from other programs was the robust support from senior leadership, with a team of preceptors offering guidance throughout her two-year experience.

During her fellowship, Kelsey was involved in the opening of the new 150-bed WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital. Just over a year later, she took on an interim position as the Manager of Perioperative Support Services at the Children’s Hospital, marking a full-circle moment for her career. Throughout her fellowship, Kelsey contributed to several key projects, including the implementation of an indoor navigation solution for patients and visitors across 12 WVU Medicine facilities, the operationalization of nurse call buttons on bed railings in nearly 700 inpatient rooms and many more. One of Kelsey’s favorite aspects of the fellowship was being a member of the CEO Council. These monthly meetings provided her with valuable opportunities to learn and network with top leaders at the peak of their careers.
