ONLINE Graduate Health Care Certificate
The program begins in Fall 2014
The Business of Health Care certificate was designed for two particular types of students: ■ Leaders in medicine and health care who lack formal training in business ■ Professionals seeking supervisory positions in medicine and health care who lack experience or have not had formal training in leadership As an online-only program, the Business of Health Care certificate provides you with the flexibility and convenience to learn “around” your career. The six-course certificate is powered by an online learning system developed by educators and instructional designers with decades of experience in distance education, to ensure that the learning environment is as engaging as it is user-friendly.
The program will provide you with the knowledge to: ■ Skillfully lead health care organizations ■ Understand the legal foundations of health care in the United States, and contrast this with other countries around the world ■ Maximize patient safety using the best practices of business, policy, and health care ■ Fully understand the business and public health implications of changing medical and health care policy ■ Recognize the role of nursing sciences in advancing public health and the business of health care The Johns Hopkins Carey Business School joins forces with top-ranked schools of nursing, medicine, and public health to create a certificate program that will provide you with a world-class education. After completing the online certificate program, you will have a greater understanding of what it takes to lead in today’s complex health care environment—and how to excel in an ever changing industry. You can use the certificate as a foundation to continue into a graduate degree program at the Carey Business School, Bloomberg School of Public Health, or the School of Nursing. Visit carey.jhu.edu for more information about the Business of Health Care certificate program, including tuition details and how to apply.
The Business of Health Care Graduate Certificate will provide students with a breadth of information related to health care and medicine from across Johns Hopkins, allowing them to specialize in areas of their choosing based on their electives. Each of the schools will allow students who have completed the certificate program to apply credits earned toward specific degree programs. The choice of the program to which the credits may be applied will be driven in part by the electives chosen. The courses in the program will be taught by faculty from the Carey Business School and the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health. All students will be required to take Leading Health Care Organizations. Students will then take one core course each from three schools: Legal Foundations of Health Care, taught by Carey faculty; one course taught by Public Health faculty; one course taught by Nursing faculty; and one of the courses co-taught by Public Health and Medicine faculty. Following these courses, students will take one additional elective in business, nursing, or public health. Students are required to complete the Business of Health Care Graduate Certificate within three years. The certificate will require 12 semester credits. Courses for the certificate are as follows:
