Baylor Business is proud to announce that a Healthcare Administration
specialization has been added into the MBA program for Fall 2003. The
new healthcare administration elective courses, healthcare internship
opportunities, and mentoring relationships create an environment for
students to explore current medical administration issues and to tailor
their studies to personal career goals in progressive, leading health
organizations.
The healthcare administration specialization will consist of five courses
plus an internship, allowing students to apply classroom skills in progressive
medical organizational settings. The practicum coupled with field excursions
will assist students in gaining a first hand introduction to the medical
administration environment in local health organizations. The seven-month
internship will be tailored to individual student interests and will
be located in some of the finest health organizations in Texas and the
country.
Students will get their first exposure to medical administration in
a healthcare elective course taken in Lockstep 1 as they meet working
health executives. Then during their internships, students will be able
to tailor their studies to personal career goals in progressive, leading
health organizations located throughout Texas, including Houston, Dallas,
Waco, and San Antonio. Opportunities also exist outside of Texas, including
a seven-month internship in one of the nation’s leading health
consulting firms in Washington D. C. They will work closely with a preceptor
in the organization and a Baylor faculty member to maximize learning
experience.
As students prepare for a career in health administration, they will
be introduced to the professional organizations providing lifelong educational
programs for medical executives and given the opportunity to establish
early mentoring relationships. During the two-year program all students
will be given the opportunity to attend a major state or national health
education event.
To learn more about the new healthcare specialization, the Graduate
Programs Office invites you to attend one of three alumni lunches to
be held in Austin, Dallas and Houston. Mr. Scott Garner, who has an
MBA in healthcare administration and is coordinating the specialization
for Baylor, will talk with alumni more about this exciting opportunity.
