1. Faculty and students collaborate with healthcare leaders, learning how to combine great patient outcomes with low costs.
2. Students complete a capstone project where they work with leading hospital administrators.
3. During the project, students analyze patient readmission data and reimbursement penalties and bonuses.
4. Students conclude the project by offering recommendations for care enhancement.
5. The MBA program lasts 18 months.
"FIU's Healthcare MBA is doing something that no other university is doing," said Miriam Weismann, academic director of the program. "Our award-winning students work hands-on with healthcare administrators to create successful, sustainable organizations in this new age of the ACA."
