Join the Next Generation of Health Care Leaders to Transform Medicine—Introducing the First Master of Management Program in Clinical Informatics

As information technology (IT) becomes ever more critical to the delivery of quality health care and research, so does the expertise required to manage the many IT challenges facing health care organizations worldwide. To meet the demand for informaticists and IT-conversant health professionals, The Fuqua School of Business, in partnership with the new Duke Center for Health Informatics, has introduced the Master of Management in Clinical Informatics (MMCi) program.

This program is the only interdisciplinary management program of its kind in the United States—leveraging Duke's world-renowned track record in medicine, business, and health informatics. Through access to the finest faculty and resources across health care, IT, and management education, students will acquire the knowledge and skills to merge technology and patient care and help improve human health.

The second MMCi class is underway in the new weekend class format. Classes meet every other Friday and Saturday and the program runs 12 months, August to August. We are currently accepting applications for the class entering in August 2012.

    We invite you to join Kevin A. Schulman, MD, MBA, as he leads a discussion on the opportunities and challenges of health care reform. Dr. Schulman is the Director of Fuqua's Health Sector Management and Master of Management in Clinical Informatics Programs and is an Associate Director of the Duke Clinical Research Institute at the Duke University School of Medicine.

    If you are interested in learning more about the Master of Management in Clinical Informatics (MMCi) degree or the Health Sector Management Certificate that you can earn along with The Duke MBA, Admissions Representatives will be available to talk with you after the discussion. A brief summary of the discussion topic as well as the event details are below.

    Discussion Topic
    Last year we passed health care reform legislation that has created tremendous interest in innovation in the health sector as the process moves forward. While reform does offer the potential for the most significant changes in decades, it has also increased uncertainty in forecasting public and private sector financing for the health care sector. Unfortunately, the lack of debate about the state of healthcare in the US leaves it difficult to assess the impact of reform efforts on the system. In fact, scholars have criticized four different attributes of the healthcare system: access to care, costs of care, sustainability and prevention. During the course of the evening, we will review some of the issues, as well as opportunities for transformative change in the future of healthcare.
