Duke Research Advantage Blog

“The Research Advantage” is the unique benefit Duke MBA students receive from learning in an environment that blends research and teaching. Fuqua’s faculty is a distinguished group of active researchers who routinely integrate new research findings into classroom lessons and discussions, and help students understand how research can influence and guide business practices.

As an interactive forum to highlight research findings and insights, this blog provides readers easily understandable, and readily usable, business knowledge. Visit the Duke Research Advantage Blog.

Certificate Programs

Health Sector Management Alumni Certificate Program Available to Daytime and EMBA Alumni with Distance Options for Course Delivery

The Health Sector Management (HSM) program continues Fuqua’s tradition of lifelong learning through the HSM Alumni Certificate Program.  For alumni who are currently working in the health care sector, or who are considering a career change, the HSM program offers a comprehensive approach to the “business of health care.”  Alumni will enroll in classes with HSM Weekend and Global Executive MBA students, either remotely or in person, thereby broadening both personal and professional networks.

View HSM Alumni Certificate Program specifics (PDF).

The next opportunity to begin the program is in May 2008.  Registration forms must be submitted by March 1.

For more information and to request a registration form, please contact Cindy Seymour, Program Coordinator of Executive HSM Programs, at 919-660-7895 or Cynthia.Seymour@duke.edu .

Recommended Reading

Each month in FuquaNet's "What's on Your Nightstand," we ask a member of the faculty or staff what they're reading. Dean Blair Sheppard kicked off the series during the 2007-2008 school year with his selections. Learn more about the books that Fuqua's faculty and staff recommend.
