Program Overview

Invest in the Best

In today’s fast-paced health care environment, managers and executives face challenges that defy simple solutions. As a leader in health care you must be able to think strategically and responsibly. The need for smart problem-solving and strategic thinking calls for your ability to innovate and lead in an increasingly shifting landscape. You are required to not only plan but also implement strategies. Never before has importance of understanding and working with government been so critical.

At the Sauder School of Business we recognize that the issues facing the health care industry require specific education to develop an executive’s capacity to enhance service delivery and make better-informed decisions.

In the EMBA in Health Care you will receive a practical and applied foundation in business fundamentals and the necessary tools to be a better decision maker in the field. Through a combination of lectures, seminars, practical assignments, industry-based projects, guest speakers and coaching, you will engage in a unique forum for learning, reflection, networking, discussion and action and that will have a long lasting impact on your career.

In the EMBA in Health Care you are required to complete the 15-credit Integrated Core component of the EMBA in its prescribed order, 12 credits of specialized courses, 3 credits of electives and a 3-credit Executive Project.

The EMBA in Health Care can be completed in as little as 16 months.  Most students choose to extend the program to 20 months by starting their projects after courses finish in June and presenting the project in the early fall.
