Prepare to thrive in the rapidly changing healthcare field
The healthcare field is rapidly evolving as it becomes more patient-centered, regulated, and focused on advancing technology. These changes create unique opportunities and complex challenges for future healthcare leaders. With the right blend of health, management, and business skills, you can thrive in one of the fastest-growing job markets.
The Business Management for Healthcare concentration will immerse you in the nuances and intricacies of the healthcare system—including opportunities to gain real-world experience in world-class Boston health facilities—as you build foundational business and management knowledge. Through required courses in the American healthcare system, process improvement, innovation, and strategic management, and electives in healthcare informatics, supply chain, or finance, you'll tailor your education to your career goals.
This concentration is ideal for:
- Students wanting to lead strategic decision-making in healthcare
- Emerging leaders interested in jobs like clinical manager or health administrator
- Students looking to build a tech-focused business toolset to advance patient care
Ultimately, I'd like to blend healthcare and entrepreneurship together and embark upon a venture that helps patients to receive the care they need and deserve… I did not find this variety of concentrations with other MBA programs. That flexibility made it possible for me to have concentrations in both healthcare management and entrepreneurship; a crucial component of pursuing my career goals.
