Back to Work!

The Spring 2017 semester is finally underway.  After welcoming our Executive students to campus last week and then seeing them start the semester strong, we also welcomed back to the Department our On-Campus graduate students late last week.  Many of them enjoyed the winter break to relax, recharge, and reconnect with family and friends, and by the time they arrived back last Thursday, they were eager and ready to begin a fun-filled and challenging semester!


The On-Campus students this spring are looking forward to a great course sequence, including coursework that addresses health economics, health care financial analysis, population health management, health care strategic planning and marketing, health care innovations, and physicians and physician relations.  The spring semester is a very busy one, with numerous highlights such as the Cleveland Clinic Case Competition in February, a community health needs assessment (CHNA) and market analysis project in early March, the trip to Chicago to attend the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) 2017 Congress and the HCAD Alumni Association's Dean Duce Award Dinner, the REACH Symposium in April, a business model project crossing the health care finance and marketing courses, the 3rd annual Tiger Tank pitch competition, an array of esteemed guest speakers visiting the program each week, and, of course, the Preceptors' Conference in early May, which will begin the process of students identifying and securing their administrative residencies for 2018.  That's a lot to swallow, but we know the fast-paced semester will fly by while yielding tremendous development and growth among our students.  It's a fun time to be a Trinity Tiger and HCAD family member...welcome back students!
