The curriculum is tied together in the last semester with a joint clinical/administrative preceptorship in a health care setting, and with a master’s project that focuses on a current health care administrative or economic issue. The program focuses on a current health care leadership and recruits leaders from industry to act as mentors for the students. An outline of the structure is listed below:
