STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
I am a very different person now since I completed my Executive MBA in Healthcare. As a start-up founder, one hour you’re in sales, the next hour you’re doing marketing, the third hour you’re pitching to investors, so it requires diverse skillsets that I certainly didn’t have two years ago.
The courses I am taking in the Executive MBA in Healthcare program are preparing me to become an effective leader and understand team dynamics, organizational leadership, and the business of healthcare. All of these align with my goals of leading a team in a product management setting.
