Winning applicants receive full-time employment at HKS and the opportunity to continue their career with the firm after the one-year fellowship term.

“The Health Fellowship allowed me to investigate a topic I was deeply passionate about. It opened doors within the firm and industry to connect with thought leaders and be mentored in healthcare planning, research, and design. ” Hannah Shultz, Medical Planner HKS will select one Health Fellow and one Health Interiors Fellow for the 2026-2027 term.

Both fellows will join the HKS Health Studio for a one-year term where, in addition to hands-on project work, they will develop and execute a health design research topic based on each fellow’s particular area of interest and strategic initiatives within the HKS Health Studio.

HKS leaders work with the selected Health Fellow and Health Interiors Fellow to pair them with the HKS office location and mentorship that can best support their research interests. During the interview stage, fellows can relay their office preference with firm leadership and discuss that office’s ability to support their research.

“We prioritize research in everything we do, and the fellowship infuses this mentality into a unique entry-level position. It’s creating the next leaders in our firm.
