Healthcare leaders enrolled in Waco, Texas-based Baylor University's executive MBA program will now be able to earn a graduate certificate in Healthcare Innovation and Management, the school announced Feb. 27.
Though initially devised to enhance the skills of leaders with at least five years of professional experience in the healthcare industry under their belts, the certificate program may also be open to professionals from outside the industry planning a career shift into healthcare, according to the announcement.
"Students who complete the program will understand how policy and law impacts the American healthcare system, financial factors impacting healthcare organizations, economic models and considerations in a variety of healthcare settings, technology and innovation's application in healthcare," Sharon Mawet, director of Baylor's Dallas-based EMBA program, said in a statement.
