An MBA with a Specialization in Healthcare gives you a competitive edge by adding business tools to your existing healthcare knowledge. Your MBA-Healthcare equips you to improve the delivery of healthcare products and services. As a student in the program, you’ll also grow your professional network to include other medical doctors and healthcare administrators.  

Physicians who complete the program gain the business skills necessary to run a successful practice. All graduates gain a better understanding of how the healthcare delivery system contributes to improved patient care. 

Providing the ultimate flexibility to current students who either work or attend medical school, full time, the MBA-Healthcare program does not run on a cohort model.  

Case studies, simulations, discussion boards and input from faculty, as well as the other students in your online classroom add depth to the course material. Given the dynamic nature of the healthcare industry, courses are regularly redesigned to align with current trends and emerging technology. 

The program provides a 360-degree learning environment that keeps you engaged. Individualized attention from faculty members, who are in-field practitioners, will drive you to succeed and provide you with a competitive advantage.
