Simmons Healthcare MBA Students Share Experiences
Two Healthcare MBA students from the Simmons School of Management recently shared their experience with the school’s blog. Corinna McFarland and Johanna Georgics come from different backgrounds but decided to pursue the Simmons Healthcare MBA to further their careers in the health care field. McFarland was recently hired as the Decision Support Analyst in the Finance Department at Boston Children’s Hospital, while Georgics, who has a background in clinical nursing, now serves as the Senior Manager for the Clinical Quality Management team at athenahealth.
Both students contribute their new careers to the skills and knowledge that they learned through the Healthcare MBA program at Simmons. Georgics, who is also a Simmons Nursing School alumnus, hopes that her education can help to continue to support her career goal to have a significant impact to improve health care using technology. McFarland, who before taking the position with the Boston Children’s Hospital, worked for several years at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in development. She tells readers that the HCMBA coursework really prepared her for her new role that has more of a finance aspect to it than her previous job.
