PROGRAM ELEMENTS

PRECEPTORSHIP The intent of the MHA Preceptorship Program is to provide the student with the opportunity to apply the didactic knowledge gained in the classroom within the context of a health care delivery organization under the guidance and direction of successful health care executives. The MHA Preceptorship is a critical component of the practitioner-educator model and an essential element in establishing the student’s management skill set.

MHA ADMINSTRATIVE FELLOWSHIPS In 2020, the MHA program offered a Fellowship Support Program for current students. This program offered students assistance over the summer with their applications to administrative fellowships for the upcoming year. Nearly 80 percent of students who participated this year have received and accepted offers to fellowship programs.
