I applied for the MSHMI program because I felt that it would help me advance in my current career. I have 30+ years of managed healthcare experience. Since being accepted, I have been promoted to a senior analytics role for my company’s pharmacy department. This program has allowed me to meet and work with several like-minded professionals in and outside of the classroom. Many doors have opened for me, and I am very proud to call myself an alumnus of this prestigious program.
