Allied Health

About Our Program

Our program follows the National Center for Healthcare Leadership Model which focuses on developing 28 core leadership competencies.

While health leaders have a lot in common with and demonstrate the behaviors of the best leaders of the top-performing organizations worldwide, they do so in an industry and environment that call for a higher level of both competence and professional values, given the specific context in which healthcare is provided, where the 'end consumer' is ultimately all people.

The culture of the MSAH program begins by igniting student passion for learning and developing new skills that apply immediately to their careers. Students learn first about who they are as leaders, along with developing their natural strengths so that they quickly become more effective in working with others individually or in groups. Through training in research management, community and education, students leave our program with increased confidence, self-awareness and make an even greater impact in healthcare. 

What students can expect:

• Learn how to analyze, interpret, communicate and respond to the major factors influencing health, healthcare policy and healthcare leadership.
• Build administration/management skills including financial skills, accountability, collaboration, relationship-building, organizational development, self-confidence and leadership.
• Learn how to become an educator and/or leader in academic, clinical, or community healthcare settings.
• Develop a strategic mind that is critical and innovative and that synthesizes concepts, principles, research, clinical findings, technologies and outcomes into actionable plans that improve programs and your professional practice.

The cornerstone of the MSAH program is developing a student's passion for learning.
