& Health Care Leadership

Penn faculty and staff members are invited to take this online graduate course. This 6-week course pairs two 3-week topics. In From Health Disparities to Health Equity, students will review the causes of and policy approaches for health disparities, and relate them to the specific discipline and interest of each student. In Health Care Leadership in an Era of Patient Empowerment, students will examine the concepts, experience, and skills for leading organizational development and change in hospitals, health centers, medical practices, and other health-care groups, administrations, and agencies.

Penn employees may use tuition benefits towards this course, which is part of the Master of Health Care Innovation (MHCI) curriculum. You may take this course on its own, or a 4-course Certificate for Penn faculty and staff is also available. Credits earned are transferrable into the MHCI.
