MHCL Advisory Board

The Master of Health Care Leadership (MHCL) Advisory Board steers a graduate program that provides the student an opportunity to develop skills for leadership and management in the health care industry. The Advisory Board will continually identify areas of current issues in healthcare leadership and recommend curriculum changes. The board consists of health care leaders, educators, students and alumni serving as a bridge between the academic development of the student and the health care industry.

The current advisory board has been instrumental in the development of the curriculum to include the issues necessary to develop leadership skills. The board will continue to provide guidance in the curriculum, participate in research project opportunities, and network to create a strong foundation for the MHCL program.
