Mini-MBA in Rural Healthcare

Rural healthcare comes with a complex and unique set of challenges — at the same time, rural settings offer opportunities for growth and impact that are exponentially higher than those in urban areas. However, traditional healthcare management and business programs often don’t equip health leaders to navigate these environments. Dignity Health Global Education (DHGE) and the University of Arizona’s Eller Executive Education believe that rural healthcare professionals deserve to be empowered to make a true impact on their communities and to pursue a highly fulfilling career. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Mini-MBA in Rural Healthcare, a condensed business management program with a twist, specifically tailored to the needs of rural healthcare professionals. The Mini-MBA in Rural Healthcare curriculum will help rural healthcare professionals break down the complex issues, develop a deeper understanding of how the politics of their region influence healthcare, how their community thinks about stakeholder engagement, enable them to find room for innovation, and help them gain a leader’s perspective.
