The business of health.
Healthcare is a business that, like all businesses, depends on innovative leaders to tackle the challenges of an ever-evolving market. Combine your passion for healthcare with your business acumen to positively impact the many sectors of the healthcare field, including payer and provider organizations, global health organizations and non-profits, and biotechnology and medical device companies.
Healthcare leaders make the difference at hospitals, group practices, health management organizations, community health settings, and government agencies. They are focused on streamlining the efficiency of process, and they work to empower healthcare specialists to deliver personalized, high-quality patient care at lower costs. They oftentimes work behind the scenes with medical staff, insurance representatives, and other administrators to ensure current legal, ethical, and regulatory standards are being met, oversee the financial health of the organization, optimize operations to improve healthcare outcomes through data analysis, and develop market opportunities.
Become a healthcare leader.
A successful healthcare manager is typically detail-oriented with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Because you will work with a variety of stakeholders, including medical staff, patients, and other administrators and business leaders, strong interpersonal and communications skills are vital. And, with the explosion of technology in healthcare, a keen understanding of the technical side of the business and a focus on the future of the digital landscape is a must.
Working with highly trained faculty with years of experience in some of the industry’s top companies and institutions, you will hone these skills and more through experiential learning and internship opportunities. With access to world-class hospitals, research facilities, and one of the largest biotech clusters in the world, you will gain the insight and the connections you will need in your future career as a healthcare leader.
