Innovative Research Builds Innovative Programs
We bring researchers
and educators together.
The Center for Healthcare Management was established in 2009 as a joint initiative of the Katz Graduate School of Business and School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. The center has as its primary mission the development and dissemination of research addressing the unique opportunities and challenges of health care delivery, as well as the improvement of health and well-being for all.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
I chose Katz because they offer so many opportunities for so many different kinds of students. The staff, faculty and professors are extremely welcoming and conductive to a great learning environment. Between all of the events, networking opportunities, or personalized career advising, I knew that this grad school was the right fit for me
It was very clear to me that Katz was the perfect option for my education and future career. Great medical care strikes a balance between both business and medicine. My time at Katz allowed me to shadow and connect with UPMC doctors and get an inside look at the business side of medical startups.
