The current destabilizing period of the health care industry and higher education has major implications for undergraduate education, especially given its adolescent stage of development. Although undergraduate programs have progressed a great deal in gaining acceptance within the industry and the academy, it must not be assumed that curricula, programs, or a consortium of programs can rest on past accomplishments. This paper has attempted to describe the threats and opportunities facing undergraduate programs and to discuss some strategies for future development that might be explored collectively or individually. It is hoped that the above observations will provoke a healthy dialogue as well as a plan of action by undergraduate programs. Undergraduate health administration programs must respond to the future and make themselves relevant and necessary to the new challenges facing the field of both practice and higher education.
当前医疗保健行业和高等教育的动荡时期对本科教育具有重大影响,尤其是考虑到本科教育尚处于发展的初级阶段。尽管本科项目在行业和学术界获得认可方面已经取得了很大进展,但绝不能认为课程、项目或项目联盟可以依赖过去的成就。本文试图描述本科项目面临的威胁和机遇,并讨论一些未来发展的策略,这些策略可以集体或单独探索。希望上述观点能引发健康的对话以及本科项目的行动计划。本科卫生管理项目必须顺应未来,使自身与实践和高等教育领域面临的新挑战相关且必要。
