“The MHA Program allowed me to learn from faculty and peers who are actively changing the industry and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, both professionally and personally. Immersive experiences such as my residency within the Finance Department at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles allowed me to tackle complex issues within the U.S. health industry today.
