What is the profile of a successful person in this program?
This program is designed for leaders and/or aspiring leaders in the health care field. As this is a broad scope, we have seen students from many different backgrounds and career paths.

What is the focus of the program?
There are three main areas that are woven into each class: management, leadership, and continuum of care. These dimensions are offered to help students understand the foundational theories that integrate with current and future best practices in health care.

Will you explain the virtual residencies?
Rather than requiring students to travel to campus, you will have two to four virtual residencies throughout the whole program. Expect a scheduled time to meet with your classmates and professor online and/or via conference call.
