Since its launch, MSHMI has enhanced KSU’s reputation nationally and globally.

Our graduates are armed with a powerful understanding of how data and technology impact healthcare delivery and practice Most importantly, MSHMI has in the 21st century. They are making their mark in health systems, medical practices, pharmaceuticals, technology companies, public health departments, and startups.
