Increasingly, there is recognition of the need for individuals with expertise in both management and public health to help health care organizations deliver high-quality and cost-effective care. The Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Management began offering an accelerated Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Public Health (MPH) joint degree program in the summer of 2014. This new program enables students to earn MBA and MPH degrees simultaneously from 2 fully accredited schools in 22 months. Students will graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to become innovative leaders of health care organizations. We discuss the rationale for the program, the developmental process, the curriculum, benefits of the program, and potential challenges.
人们越来越认识到,需要兼具管理和公共卫生专业知识的人才来帮助医疗保健机构提供高质量且具成本效益的护理。耶鲁公共卫生学院和耶鲁管理学院于2014年夏季开始提供加速工商管理硕士(MBA)和公共卫生硕士(MPH)联合学位项目。这个新项目使学生能够在22个月内同时从两所完全认证的学校获得MBA和MPH学位。学生毕业时将具备成为医疗保健机构创新领导者所需的知识和技能。我们讨论了该项目的基本原理、发展过程、课程设置、项目的益处以及潜在挑战。
