Opening Remarks
Welcome / DHT Reflections
I am delighted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Master of Science in Healthcare Management and Informatics (MSHMI) program in the Michael J. Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University! Founded in 2015, MSHMI became the state of Georgia’s first interdisciplinary healthcare management and informatics graduate degree. Like the origins of KSU itself, MSHMI was created to meet a specific need in the workforce— supporting Georgia’s healthcare technology ecosystem—and has since grown and continued to thrive thanks to an intrinsic commitment to student success. Since its launch, MSHMI has enhanced KSU’s reputation nationally and globally. The program now extends around the world, representing approximately 500 students across diverse professional backgrounds, over 100 industry projects, endowed scholarships, multiple industry fellowships, thousands of research dollars and grants from federal and industry partners, awards and recognitions, and prestigious accreditations. Most importantly, MSHMI has successfully created a robust and skilled workforce pipeline. Our graduates are armed with a powerful understanding of how data and technology impact healthcare delivery and practice in the 21st century. They are making their mark in health systems, medical practices, pharmaceuticals, technology companies, public health departments, and startups.
