Message From the Program Director
The Master of Science in Health Systems is the first program to combine aligned biomedical sciences into a single, applied degree that focuses on best practices in value-based healthcare delivery and embeds students directly within a major hospital system. Students are not housed in an affiliated school or program, but rather are integrated directly within the front lines of healthcare delivery while working hand in glove with diverse professionals managing decisions in a top-tier healthcare system.
Brennan M. Spiegel, MD, MSHS
Director, Master of Science in Health Systems
While many of the students in MSHS program are already accomplished professionals, every student adds to a portfolio of research by making a practical and valuable contribution towards transforming healthcare.
