- A cover letter attached to online profile
- In the cover letter, please indicate the order of preference for the three locations — Rochester, Jacksonville, and Arizona. This will not have any effect on whether you are selected into the program, but will help us better define program location.
Note: We may not have openings at each of these locations in a given year.

- A brief personal essay attached to online profile addressing the following questions:

Your response should address your interest in AFP and Mayo Clinic; the most important aspects of your envisioned fellowship experience and position/role upon completion of the fellowship; short- and long-term healthcare administration career goals; and how your goals, interests, and qualifications make you an ideal match for AFP and Mayo Clinic.
