Administrative Residency Program participants

Moffitt Cancer Center is committed to furthering its mission to "contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer" while developing the next generation of healthcare leaders and innovators. Through the efforts of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Sabi Singh and Organizational Integration Senior Partner Odalys Capote, Moffitt continues to invest in experiential learning opportunities that prepare emerging professionals for impactful careers.

The Administrative Residency Program, relaunched in 2024, provides aspiring healthcare administrators with immersive leadership and operational experiences, while the AI Residency Program, first launched in 2026, focuses on advancing innovation through artificial intelligence and emerging technologies in healthcare.

About Moffitt's Administrative Residency Programs  

Moffitt offers two distinct administrative residency programs designed to develop future leaders in different disciplines:

  • Administrative Residency Program

    Moffitt's Administrative Residency Program is housed within the Office of the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Spanning one year, the program offers residents a comprehensive, immersive experience at Moffitt. Throughout the year, residents engage in two primary phases: rotations and projects. Residents work closely with vice presidents, executive vice presidents, and senior leaders across the organization, gaining firsthand exposure to executive decision-making, strategic planning and healthcare operations.

    Rotations, which typically last two months, are scheduled across various organizational functions. During these rotations, residents learn directly from Moffitt's leaders, gaining valuable insights into the organization's operations and strategic priorities.

    A core focus of the program is gaining experience by leading or contributing to institutional initiatives. Residents are assigned projects either individually or in collaboration with peers, allowing them to apply their skills in real-world settings while deepening their exposure to the organization and contributing to Moffitt's mission.

  • AI Residency Program

    Moffitt's AI Residency Program is housed within the Office of the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and is designed to develop future leaders at the intersection of healthcare and artificial intelligence. Like the Administrative Residency Program, the AI Residency provides an immersive, one-year experience that exposes residents to Moffitt's strategic priorities, leadership structure and organizational operations.

    AI Residents participate in leadership development opportunities, organizational learning experiences and select rotational experiences alongside administrative residents. Throughout the program, residents have opportunities to collaborate on institutional initiatives, fostering interdisciplinary partnerships between healthcare administration and technology.

    In addition to executive and operational exposure, AI residents are paired with technical preceptors who provide specialized mentorship in areas such as artificial intelligence, data science, analytics, digital transformation and innovation. While residents gain a broad understanding of healthcare leadership and operations, the majority of their project work focuses on identifying, developing, and implementing AI-driven solutions that support patient care, research, operational effectiveness and the overall cancer center experience.

    While both residency programs offer immersive learning experiences and meaningful project work, the Administrative Residency Program focuses on healthcare leadership and operations, whereas the AI Residency Program emphasizes artificial intelligence, analytics and digital innovation.
