Healthcare Management & Leadership Learning Opportunities

With the help of Health Services Administration faculty members, you can complete applied research projects during your internship. These projects are designed to advance your knowledge in the field of healthcare administration and give you an opportunity to present your student research project at and other venues.

Your required health services administration internship provides practical experience based upon the theoretical foundations learned in the classroom. You will develop your management skills under the guidance of an experienced healthcare executive. The hands-on immersion in the field reinforces a commitment to the profession and helps to narrow your career path.

MSUM and the School of Nursing and Healthcare Leadership encourage opportunities and support travel to health administration conferences and events. As a member of the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA), you’ll enjoy networking opportunities and a wide range of services to help launch your career in healthcare services administration.

A study abroad experience will elevate your personal and professional growth while developing cultural sensitivity required to provide highly efficient patient-centered care. In a study tour group, you’ll get a unique opportunity to learn about healthcare delivery in international healthcare settings. These faculty-led experiences integrate a global perspective of educational preparation, healthcare delivery and healthcare policy in an international environment. Faculty and students embark on international study experiences regularly, with additional opportunities continually being explored. Please contact the School of Nursing and Healthcare Leadership for more information about the Dominican Republic and Ireland study abroad opportunities.
