So pumped to be back in the MBA classroom at University of Toronto - Rotman School of Management this term to teach Healthcare Innovation No, that is NOT an oxymoron. It is a craft that can be learned, practiced and applied Thrilled this year to have a fellow in the class Eni Aminu vlogging our weekly escapades and insights [thanks for the idea and coaching on how to embed fellows in the learning experience Nouman Ashraf ] Week 1 was about meeting the 37 health innovators across our full time, part time and executive MBA programs, and a few other faculties at University of Toronto Our core text is Innovator’s Prescription by professor Clay Christensen who passed 5 years ago this week. The absolute highlight was kicking off the course #PatientFirst. Class opened with Beth Campbell Duke from BC - she shared a day in the life of being a care partner for family members with incredibly complex needs … and a system that seems to work against her and her loved ones at every turn Her story and reflections will anchor our work for this semester. Thank you PAN - Patient Advisors Network for connecting our students to Beth. Here we go! Arman Hamidian Bill Zizek Sandra Rotman Centre for Health Sector Strategy Ann-Somers Hogg

Should you apply for a dual MPH/MBA or just an MPH❓ Here is why I opted for a dual MPH/MBA over an MPH A few months ago, I was privileged to be invited to join an interview panel for the chief accountant role for a private organization. To my surprise, the entire process was fun, and then I realized I was not lost in the conversation because of my MBA. How can someone with a medical background feel this comfortable with these accounting and financial terms? Completing my dual MPH/MBA at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and The Johns Hopkins University - Carey Business School has been an enriching experience. Here’s why choosing this path instead of just an MPH made all the difference: 1️⃣ Holistic Perspective → My background in medicine provided a strong foundation in health sciences. → The MPH deepened my understanding of public health principles. → The MBA expanded my ability to approach health challenges with strategic, operational, and financial acumen. 2️⃣ Leadership Skills → The MBA program honed my leadership and management skills. →Enabled me to drive change not just in health policy but also in organizational settings. → I have learned to lead cross-functional teams and communicate effectively with stakeholders. 3️⃣ Strategic Vision →The business education enriched my ability to think strategically about health interventions. → I understood financial management and innovative business models that can sustain public health initiatives and improve healthcare delivery. 4️⃣ Entrepreneurial Mindset → The MBA fostered an entrepreneurial spirit. → it encourages you to think creatively and take calculated risks. 5️⃣ Networking Opportunities → The dual degree provided access to a diverse network of professionals from both public health and business sectors. →This interdisciplinary network is invaluable for collaboration, mentorship, and career advancement. 6️⃣ Comprehensive Skill Set → Combining the MPH and MBA allowed me to develop a unique skill set combining public health expertise with business savvy. → This combination positions you to address health challenges comprehensively. →You consider both public health impact and sustainability. *********** If you’re considering a dual degree, I highly recommend it for the depth and breadth of opportunities it provides. But it is also not for everyone. Assess your situation before committing. ************ Bonus tip: #JohnsHopkins offers everyone who gets into the dual degree at least 30-50% scholarship. #PublicHealth #BusinessLeadership #MPHMBA #HealthcareInnovation #JohnsHopkins #CareerGrowth #Leadership

Meet EMBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership alum, Julia Joseph, MBA, MS '24. Read on to hear how she found value in learning alongside a diverse cohort and how her journey at Cornell has shaped her impactful career. #CornellMBA #WeAreWCM #CornellBusiness #healthcareleadership Q: As a non-clinician, what was the value-add in being in a class with other clinicians? A: It was eye-opening to hear the perspectives of the clinicians in my class. Getting to bounce ideas off my classmates has opened my eyes to their perspectives, challenges, and ideas that I had not previously been exposed to. Q: Tell us about your pre-Cornell experiences, including your work, prior studies, and achievements. A: I want to make an impact in digital health. As with many people I know, I have watched family and friends experience some of the horrible parts of our healthcare system, and I’ve had the drive to change that for as long as I can remember. I studied Information Science at Cornell for my undergraduate studies, and after graduation, I was looking for ways to use my technology degree so that I would feel good about going to work every day. That’s how I made it into health technology. I currently work as a Data Product Owner at Merck, where I help commercial business teams solve problems and answer questions with data. I have also spent the last few years investigating the ethical use of data for machine learning and artificial intelligence; in particular, learning how bioethics principles can be leveraged to ensure we are building the most ethical data-based products possible. Q: Why did you choose Cornell? What part of the program was most attractive to you? A: I was looking for a way to marry my interest in business with my passion for healthcare. Cornell was the only program I found that did both. The quality of education, the focus on well-rounded perspectives across clinicians and non-clinicians, and the executive leadership coaching all drew me to this program. Q: What do/did you want to learn during your MBA/MS? A: I wanted to learn everything about our healthcare system! What the issues are, how it works, how it differs from global healthcare systems, and most importantly how to make it better. Q: Complete this phrase. “I would describe the Cornell EMBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership community as..." A: the smartest, most driven, and most passionate people you will ever meet. Q: Complete this phrase. “The most unique thing about the Cornell EMBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership program is...” A: The depth of education from the business school and the medical school, combining insight and knowledge across disciplines to create a truly singular educational experience.
