Better Care – Better Satisfaction – Better Outcomes

Policymakers and health providers wrestle with dramatic changes occurring in the U.S. health system. Implementation of the Affordable Care Act will add millions of new participants into today’s over-burdened system of care. To remain competitive, organizations must achieve the “triple aims” driving healthcare today: the simultaneous pursuit of better care and satisfaction for individuals, improved health outcomes for populations, and lower per capita costs. Successful healthcare leaders will be required to embrace innovation, manage and sustain change, and effectively collaborate with colleagues and consumers.

The UCSF Healthcare Administration and Interprofessional Leadership master’s degree program is designed for professionals who are committed to shaping healthcare systems that improve access, affordability, quality and safety.

The program welcomes students from a range of disciplines such as dentistry, gerontology, medicine, nursing, nutrition, occupational and physical therapies, pharmacy, social work and other professionals working in the healthcare industry.
