Master the New Business of Health Care
Welcome to the intersection where technology, research and innovation all meet. Some call it the “new” business of healthcare. We call it your ticket to successful leadership in the profession.
While you already navigate health care’s enormous complexity and continual transformation, your M.B.A. in Complex Health Systems adds a powerful edge. It empowers you to improve patients and stakeholder business solutions as a healthcare leader or facilitate cutting-edge laboratory findings, medicines, therapies and device launches as an entrepreneur.
- Developed by Advisory Board of health care leaders, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
- Founded on NSU's Center for Collaborative Research's top-level relationships with incubator and early stage healthcare businesses, biotech and pharma.
- Emphasizes experiential learning environment in class and inside the healthcare business continuum (hospitals, clinics and research settings, including an experiential capstone course).
“We're at a crossroads where innovation, business, healthcare, technology are all coming together. I see NSU and [the M.B.A. in Complex Health Systems] as being the convenor bringing all those different spokes together in that one wheel.”
Doug Bartel, Senior Director, Florida Blue
