Global Management (Global Health Care Delivery)

Students gain practical skills and hands-on experience in both global management and health care delivery. Due to the aging population of the U. S. and the world, many careers of the future will involve health care services, including health care management and delivery. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that careers in the field of medical and health care management will grow 20% between 2016 and 2026. The Bureau also estimates the median annual wage for health care managers is almost twice that of the U. S. median, making these leadership positions not only lucrative but impactful. This MGM concentration allows graduates to meet the growing need for skilled health care managers who possess a solid foundation of international business skills and a global mindset. The Master of Global Management program with a concentration in global health care delivery is designed for current or aspiring executives and managers in health care who would like to hone their leadership and business skills to position themselves for careers leading health care organizations around the world. Some health care practitioners, such as nurses and doctors, may also use the degree as a way to move from clinical practice into management roles. The program addresses the current and future needs of the management workforce in the health care industry globally, including C-suite executives and administrators, health care providers (physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses), frontline staff (respiratory therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and dietitians) and students in medical disciplines. Students master core and advanced skills in designing systems, processes and mechanisms used to optimize health care delivery anywhere in the world. In addition, students integrate evidence-based financial principles geared toward improved individual and population health outcomes, such as leadership strategies in change management, for example.
