The Faculty
Within the faculty of the Health Policy and Administration Division you
will find an exceptional blend of backgrounds, both intellectual and
practical. Senior professors who bring decades of the highest level of
healthcare management experience to the curriculum work alongside
economists, organizational theorists, sociologists, outcomes analysts, and
lawyers on the faculty to provide a broad multidisciplinary preparation for
our students.
Senior Executive Preceptors add
to the richness of the learning experience in the field, and adjunct
faculty members bring practice experience into the classroom.
