No two days are alike for Deland fellows. Since beginning their fellowships in July, Ama Boah and Elaine Logue have shadowed hospital leaders, toured departments and learned the inner workings of the hospital.
“This fellowship really gives us the unique opportunity to see everything that goes on in the hospital for a year,” said Logue.
Boah said that the insights they will gain over the year are invaluable. “It’s very interesting and beneficial for us to talk with so many members of the senior leadership team about their own experiences, how they got to their positions and how their interests evolved over time,” she said.
Boah and Logue bring a shared passion to learn from BWH leadership and staff. Through the fellowship, they will spend three months of comprehensive training in clinical and administrative settings and nine months completing project-based work under the mentorship of a vice president: Boah with Elizabeth Glaser of Clinical Services and Logue with Sanjay Pathak of Surgical Services and Imaging.
Boah’s experiences have taken her as far as Ghana, where she worked as an English and kindergarten teacher, a laboratory technician in a maternity clinic and at the United Nations Population Fund. Earlier this year, Boah worked in Jamaica assembling budgets, programming and strategy for a homeless rehabilitation center opening on the island. She also has served as an intern at DFCI’s Finance Department and a research assistant at the Harvard School of Public Health. Boah earned her master’s degree in health policy and management from the Harvard School of Public Health and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Yale University.
Logue’s roots are at the Brigham, where she has worked for the past three years as the residency operations manager in General Surgery. In that position, she assisted with development of policies, ensured trainees met their requirements and coordinated events such as orientation, teaching conferences and graduation activities. Before coming to BWH, Logue was the academic coordinator for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Boston Medical Center and, prior to that, a fellowship coordinator in Newborn Medicine at Children’s Hospital. She holds an MBA in health administration from Suffolk University and a bachelor’s degree in health policy and management from Providence College.
