在这里学什么？

The MHSA degree focuses on the organization, financing, marketing, and management of health care systems. Preparation for leadership roles in health care, including, but not limited to health systems, hospitals, clinics, and emergency services, insurance, and consulting.

All students working toward the 60-credit-hour MHSA degree take a set of courses designed to provide an in-depth education in the issues, skills, and competencies necessary for leaders in the field of health management and policy.

We have designed our curriculum around a set of core competencies that define professional excellence in health management and policy. The competency base defines professional skills that we expect our students to have when they leave the program. The competencies are found in our Competency Model, which is updated periodically and is based on research, the knowledge base for these fields, and ongoing feedback from professionals in the field.

HMP students receive competency-based training in health management and health policy. Although the degree options are quite similar in terms of their curricula and the knowledge, skills, and competencies that students master, there are some differences in their emphasis.

Year 1 of the curriculum has a two-semester sequence in Health Services Systems that covers the history and foundation of health care.

Fall semester covers major issues in the organization of a health services system: role of values; assessment of health status; analysis of need, access and use of services; current supply and distribution of health resources; analysis of health care costs and expenditures.

Winter semester builds on the material in Fall, and focuses on the definition and assessment of quality of care; control of quality and costs of care through market-oriented strategies, professional self-regulation, intra-organizational process improvement approaches, third-party strategies, and government regulation; and system reform.

All graduates will obtain knowledge and skills related to policy frameworks, political institutions, the policy-making process, policy analysis and key issues in public health and health care policy. Further coursework develops the skills required to gather health policy information and to write policy briefs and policy testimony. The nature of public policy interventions within the various domains of public health, the theoretical motivations for undertaking them, the influence of the political, bureaucratic, and social environment in which policy decisions are made as well as the consequences of such decisions are explored.

Other areas covered in the curriculum include; Healthcare Financial Accounting, Economics of Healthcare, Cost-Effectiveness/Cost Benefit Analysis, Organizational Theory and Management, Legal Aspects of Healthcare and Public Health, Quantitative Methods, and Professional Development

The final semester culminates with the Integrated Learning Experience (ILE) where student teams tackle a real-life client consulting engagement. These clients, representing a wide range of organizations within healthcare, public health, and health policy, will present each team with a problem that requires analysis, ideas, and action-orientated recommendations. Specific competencies developed by the course address both process team-work and collaboration to analyze complex issues, presentation skills and contents identifying key business success factors and strategic alternatives for provider organizations and health insurers in various settings. The ILE represents a culminating experience in the second year of study that allows students to synthesize select foundational and concentration competencies in a high-quality written product.
