Healthcare is the largest sector of the U.S. economy, and also the sector with perhaps the deepest and most complex involvement of government throughout. Current and future health care executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals increasingly need to understand how government and public policy processes work, what the key policy issues and trends are, and how they can more effectively navigate this complicated environment.
The Washington Campus offers five-day customized, open-enrollment healthcare policy courses for graduate students. The courses enable participants to interact first-hand with healthcare policy makers, regulators, and other experts who share their uniquely valuable insights with those interested and involved in health care. Students engage in and enjoy a unique learning and professional development experience with the best expert practitioner faculty: those actively shaping the future of business, public affairs, and public policy in the health care sector. Participants learn how to lead and succeed in the rapidly-changing landscape of health care policy.
The complete course includes: pre-readings, course sessions and activities, a take-home exam with two essay prompts, and a team project due two weeks after the course is completed. In order to meet academic credit contact hour requirements, in-person courses typically run Monday-Friday from approximately 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., with a 4:00 p.m. close on Friday. The Washington Campus forwards grades to participants’ universities, which award the final course grades and up to three academic credits.
This was an incredible opportunity to gain experience advocating for patients, hospitals, and health care systems.
I had an amazing residency experience with The Washington Campus taking a deep dive into strategically managing healthcare policy in Washington DC. I am reflecting on this incredible opportunity to learn from policy and thought leaders in the healthcare space. I am even more grateful to have made a career in this industry that I am passionate about and excited to bring lessons learned back to my dynamic organization.
Last week was nothing short of amazing! I completed The Washington Campus strategically managing health care policy residency program. I was honored to have met healthcare leaders and political strategists within the government sector and learn about the current and future state of healthcare in the United States. I left with increased purpose, awareness, and motivation to improve health equity and access to quality care.
