Health Practice Management Programs

Starting this Fall
Graduate Programs specifically for health practice managers

Our MBA and Masters Certificate in Health Practice Management are both designed for individuals who manage healthcare organizations or departments in large hospitals or small practices. Effective management of a health care organization requires a strong understanding of science and business and the leadership skills to apply that knowledge.
 
Tom Crawford ‘04, COO of Springfield Hospital said, “With the cost of providing healthcare rising, there is a need for hospitals and healthcare practices to become more efficient and creative in reducing costs while continuing to provide safe and effective patient care. This program will provide us with the tools to do just that.”
