Health Care Management Profession
Health care is a very complex industry with many distinct types of stakeholders
including, but not limited to, patients, clinicians, third-party payers, as well as public
and private oversight and regulatory agencies. This, coupled with an array of legislative
changes, quality initiatives, and resource limitations, pose distinct challenges to health
care managers and leaders and the organizations in which they function. The Rutgers
School of Health Professions (SHP) master of science in health care management
(M.S.H.M.) program targets specific competencies needed by managers and leaders,
enabling them to effectively address environmental challenges and help health care
organizations thrive and succeed; and it is ranked as a
Top School for Online Learning in
Healthcare Management.
