The curriculum emphasizes effective healthcare delivery; patient advocacy; and healthcare policy development, implementation, and reform. Throughout the program, students gain competency in assessing and applying theory, building professional relationships, implementing evidence-based interventions, and leading and managing in the healthcare environment.
