MMHC ROI for Organizations

You benefit. Your employees benefit. That’s called a “win-win.”

Perhaps no industry today is evolving more quickly than healthcare. While opportunities for growth and improved patient care abound, competitive and regulatory realities, rapidly emerging technologies, financial imperatives and human resource management present numerous challenges. And while physicians, nursing managers and hospital administrators have clinical and subject-area expertise, they often lack the business acumen required to manage people, projects or processes. The Vanderbilt Master of Management in Health Care (MMHC) is designed to provide these healthcare practitioners with the business knowledge, insights, skills and connections to bridge the management gap. This unique program offers management and industry-specific courses as well as leadership development – a high quality educational experience that will not disrupt the day-to-day operations of your organization.
