Nick Gavin, emergency department physician, and Neiger Green, program analyst at the CDC, share insights about the Executive MBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership program.
Class cohorts are typically composed of a mix of clinicians and non-clinicians in the healthcare field; therefore, each class represents stakeholders from across the healthcare ecosystem. The exchange of diverse perspectives among seasoned healthcare professionals creates a dynamic learning community.
The EMBA/MS curriculum will give you the tools and knowledge needed to lead complex organizations, manage multiple tasks, and effectively engage with stakeholders, including physicians, technologists, insurance companies, and policy makers. Insights will be immediately applicable to your work.
Professional development programming is an integral part of the EMBA/MS program. Our career and leadership coaches can help you plan your next step in the healthcare industry, and you’ll get to know faculty—professors and practitioners—from two of Cornell’s top-ranked schools who have expertise in both business and healthcare.
