Mini MBA

Healthcare Mini MBA

Today’s health leaders need to have more diversified knowledge than ever before. They need an industry-specific understanding of economics and business, policy and ethics, and decision-making — all while continuing to sharpen their interpersonal skills. Eleven passionate and highly qualified academic experts from the University of Arizona’s Eller Executive Education and Eller College of Management condensed research-based content of an MBA-level into 12 weeks so that you can gain a healthcare-specific business foundation in a short time without sacrificing depth.

In an innovative approach, the curriculum features different kinds of champions: two-time Super Bowl champion Max Starks, four-time track and field Olympic medal winner Ato Boldon, and two-time shot put Olympic medal winner John Godina. These professional athletes bring their unique perspectives to achieving greatness on the job, overcoming failure while pursuing perfection, and performing under pressure.

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. OpusVi™ 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.
