New Business Health Care Certificate Coming to Carey
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the need for health administrators is expected to grow more than 20 percent by 2020. Due to this statistic, Johns Hopkins University is launching a new online leadership and management training certificate program for professionals working in medicine and health care industries. The new Certificate in the Business of Health Care is a collaborative program that brings the Bloomberg School of Public Health, Carey Business School, School of Medicine, and School of Nursing together.
“The Certificate in the Business of Health Care brings together the disciplines of business, public health, medicine, and nursing. It is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of a rapidly changing health care environment,” said Bernard T. Ferrari, dean of the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. “The course work will strengthen students’ potential to make a substantial difference in the world—as leaders of organizations, and as good corporate citizens.”
Based at the Carey Business School, the new program and will be taught by faculty from all four schools. All participants will be required to take Leading Health Care Organizations. Students will then take one core course from each of the schools. Following these courses, students will take one additional elective in business, nursing, or public health. The certificate will require 12 semester credits.
“This certificate program is the perfect intersection of business and health. It leverages academic strengths across Johns Hopkins and will be extremely helpful for medical professionals seeking to lead or manage health care organizations,” said Paul Rothman, dean of the Medical Faculty and Chief Executive Officer of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Courses will begin online in October 2014. The priority admissions deadline is August 15, 2014. You can find more information on admissions and the program here.
