2026-2027 Home Hospital International Fellowship

Ariadne Labs is a joint center for health systems innovation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Our goal is to drive scalable solutions for better care at critical moments in people’s lives everywhere. Better care means better health outcomes, lower costs, and more actual caring. Critical means solving health systems failures that have major impact, typically touching people by the millions. Ariadne Labs currently has research programs in the areas of childbirth, surgery, palliative care, and primary health care.

The Home Hospital initiative at Ariadne Labs is on a quest to reimagine hospital-level care at home for all communities by designing, testing, and scaling evidence-based patient-centered home-based solutions. We transform patient experience using accessible technology, building multidisciplinary teams, and informing policy. Some of our current projects include testing a home hospital pathway for individuals experiencing homelessness in collaboration with housing partners and designing an acute care home hospital solution for behavioral health patients.

The Home Hospital International Fellow will participate in Boston as a full-time team member contributing to current innovation efforts, research projects, and building partnerships across institutions. Return to home country for required clinical duty will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please include a brief description of special circumstances in your statement of interest if you would like to be considered for a hybrid arrangement.

The Fellow is expected to have a solid background as a clinician and/or an academic in the field of hospital-level care at home. The ideal candidate is expected to demonstrate appropriate preparation to enable them to fully benefit from the experience, including exposure to academic research and competency in English.

Applications may come from any relevant profession as long as there is demonstrated evidence of work in the field of hospital-level care at home.
