Duke University, Durham, NC
Letter from the Director
Health care is one of the most complex fields in management today. Our
graduates face the same set of challenges that all Duke MBA graduates face,
plus the specific challenges inherent within the health sector. Whether
you are interested in a biotechnology startup or the development of a new
integrated delivery system in Beijing, The Duke Health Sector Management
program (HSM) is perfect for those who want to address important and
satisfying challenges in their health care careers.
The Duke HSM program has been built to reflect the specific needs of our students
as they move up within the industry, by providing broader perspectives on health
care trends and institutions. Our students are overwhelmingly excited by
our curriculum because it continues to evolve with the needs and challenges of
this rapidly changing field. They also have access to one of the best health
systems in the country, one of the best biomedical research institutions, and
one of the best health policy institutions.
Duke’s HSM program is challenging, but so are the demands within the health
sector. We are confident that if you have the commitment to the field,
we can provide the tools you need to achieve your personal career goals, whatever
they may be.
Thank you for your interest in the HSM program and good luck as you pursue the
next phase of your management education.
