Clinical Business Administration

Learn all about management challenges in healthcare through the Advanced Program Clinical Business Administration

The healthcare sector is under pressure. While the ingredients that make for a good healthcare system are present and we have the resources to provide quality care, the complexity of our healthcare system and the barriers between care units are making it difficult for us to do so. Healthcare problems cannot be solved in isolation. As healthcare professionals, we need to collaborate with other healthcare providers, policymakers, industry, and patients. However, we often have different perspectives and speak a different ‘language’. In addition to management skills, the Clinical Business Administration program provides healthcare professionals with an understanding of those different perspectives. Thanks to these insights you, as a healthcare professional, will be better prepared to navigate the complex field of healthcare and be able to thrive within it. This is not only valuable for your own development, but will also allow you to bring value to healthcare organizations.

• Learn to speak both the language of patient care and the language of managers.
