The mission of the Health Care Management program is to prepare ethical and socially responsible students from a variety of backgrounds for entry and mid-level management and leadership positions in a variety of health service organizations in the changing health service system, and to strive for excellence in professional education, scholarly research and community service in health care management.
Programmatic goals include obtaining a selection of both diverse student and faculty educational and experiential backgrounds to foster an increased interdisciplinary understanding of health care. Because a health administrator supports those who provide care, it is incumbent to include both clinicians and non-clinicians in the student body to refine their analytical, verbal, and quantitative skills for resolving complex health care issues. Individuals learn both cognitive and effective educational domains at the highest levels.
