Via alum Andrea Tull. She notes that they are NOT entry level, but "someone with with 2-5+ years experience in state or federal policy would be a great candidate. Masters degrees are not a requirement, but certainly help. Law degrees and/or clinical degrees also not required, but helpful if a candidate does have it."
If you want to know more email me (Professor O'Neil) and I will put you in contract with Ms. Tull. FYI, anyone thinking about careers, note the pay in this area (71-100k).

Please help us spread the word about two new policy development/policy analysis/advocacy positions at the Washington State Hospital Association.
We are looking for motivated, independent, enthusiastic people to join our team. Please circulate to your networks - we encourage you or others you might know who are interested to apply!
For both positions, we are seeking someone with knowledge of state legislative and regulatory processes, familiarity working in a political environment, ability to serve a diverse constituency of hospitals, excellent project development and management skills, and strong communication skills. Data collection, research and analysis skills are required. A bachelor’s degree or related work experience is required. Master’s degree in health services administration, public health, business, or similar degree is preferred. Knowledge or background in health care is preferred. Background in mobilizing people to be engaged in public policy advocacy is preferred. The jobs are full-time, with excellent benefits, and a competitive salary ($72,000-$103,000). The Washington State Hospital Association is a good workplace with a strong policy/advocacy team.
The first position is Policy Director, Access. The core work in this position is providing public policy analysis and advocacy on behalf of hospitals on issues related to access to health care, state coverage for subsidized care, and insurance benefits. A legal degree is a plus for this job.
The second position is Policy Director, Clinical Issues. The core work in this position is providing public policy analysis and advocacy on behalf of hospitals on issues related to clinical care and work force. A clinical degree is a plus for this job.
