HEALTH CARE IS EVOLVING
Master of Science in Health Care Policy & Management (MSHCPM)
As the U.S. health care sector expands and transforms, the industry needs smart, flexible leaders. We need visionaries who thoroughly understand the continuum of care and appreciate how advanced technology is reshaping everything from how health products are developed to how (and where) care is delivered to patients. At the same time, we need problem solvers who recognize the need for systemic changes that will reduce waste and improve health care quality and access.
Guide policy as a consultant. Manage a health system or insurer at the highest levels. Build a medical company from the ground up. No matter the impact you want to have in the health industry, our Master of Science in Health Care Policy & Management (MSHCPM) program offers expertise across public policy, public health, population health, and health care delivery.
In MSHCPM, you will learn the nuances of the increasingly complex health care business environment, alongside interdisciplinary training in Heinz College’s core strengths of technology and quantitative management. This combination of abilities will prepare you to innovate and respond to constant shifts in this critical industry.
Some of health care’s greatest challenges, that our faculty and students are working to solve:
- Creating new markets and business models for health informatics and bio-tech
