Program Overview

The MGSS program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare system and the skills necessary to manage healthcare services effectively. The program is tailored to meet the needs of professionals working in the healthcare sector, with a focus on developing leadership and management skills.

Residency

The MGSS program includes a residency component, which provides students with the opportunity to work in a healthcare setting and apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. The residency can be completed in person or through a project-based approach.

In-Person Residency

The in-person residency is a four-month placement in a healthcare organization, where students work closely with healthcare professionals to develop management and leadership skills. Students participate in decision-making processes, work on projects, and gain hands-on experience in healthcare management.
