Introduction
As the health care industry changes and expands, there's a growing demand for professionals with expertise in both health care and business administration. To help meet this demand, the College of Business Administration:
- Created the Healthcare Executive MBA program. This custom program offers core courses similar to the MBA program supplemented with a focus on issues facing the health care industry. Through the program, health care professionals from the Republic of China, studying in both their home country and in Hawaii, have received administrative training through advanced business courses.
- Conducted in association with Johns Hopkins University, the Hopkins-Hawaii Winter Institute provides management and leadership development for senior health care professionals. Combining a business and medical perspective, this one-week program covers industry trends, offers continuing education or graduate credits, and builds a foundation for executives grappling with the new realities of the health care industry.
