About the program


In the healthcare field, there are limitless possibilities for leaders who can combine critical thinking and practical approaches with a focus on innovation. Make your own impact on the future of healthcare through the MBA in Healthcare Management program at MCPHS.

Designed for those interested in pursuing leadership opportunities in a variety of healthcare-related sectors, including payer and provider organizations, non-profits, and biotechnology and biomedical device organizations, the MBA in Healthcare Management empowers the next generation of business leaders.

Shape the industry through expert instruction and hands-on experiences in the business-related aspects of healthcare, including capital finance and accounting, operations management, value chain, and revenue cycle considerations.

Meet the complex challenges of an evolving environment by gaining the skills and hands-on experiences you will need to successfully serve diverse stakeholders and make informed decisions through careful consideration of policy, practice, and in consideration population-driven outcomes.

Program Outcomes

Graduates of the MBA in Healthcare Management will be able to:

  • Develop and demonstrate practical approaches to population-level health that include innovation, technology, and entrepreneurial values
  • Demonstrate ethical decision-making that is informed by critical thinking and evidence-based approaches
  • Apply analytical skills in evaluation and dissemination of solutions to core challenges in the delivery of healthcare including value, revenue, and health outcomes
  • Demonstrate strategy in aligning and balancing the competing priorities of the health system stakeholders
  • Communicate and disseminate critical information to multiple audiences

On top of the in-class experience, you’re in clinical three days each week, so you really get a chance to perfect your diagnostic technique in real-world situations. My clinical work is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. It’s very hands-on, which is great. Plus it’s really professional. It’s like practicing for a job interview the whole time you’re there.
