The Executive Program in Health Systems was a wonderful start to my career. I came out of undergrad knowing I wanted to work in healthcare, but unsure what I wanted to do. I was suggested this program because I enjoy problem-solving and math and decided to join after researching it and seeing great reviews. Looking back, it was a fantastic decision. This program has outfitted me with an incredible foundation. Aside from the technical skills, it helped improve my critical thinking, my discipline and time management, and has allowed me to meet many great people in the industry. Lastly, it’s been an invaluable resource in my career progression and I am forever thankful for being a part of it.

"The Executive Program in Health Systems - Manhattan served as a turning point in my career and jump-started my future in healthcare. From day one, I was introduced to the many issues American healthcare is facing in our society, and I was taught ways to approach and fix them. The amount of relevant material I learned that I was able to use immediately was one of the great strengths of the program. Having classes on Saturdays allowed me the opportunity to simultaneously participate in an internship program where I applied all of the knowledge I was learning. Having professors that had years of experience in healthcare really helped in bridging the gap between the curriculum and real-world practices. I would highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to pursue a career in healthcare. It truly propelled my career into an area I could not have previously imagined."
