my name is Mariya Thompson I'm the
00:02
director of executive education for the
00:04
Sloan Program in Health Administration
00:05
and together with the team at Sloan and
00:08
eCornell I've been working on putting
00:11
together and implementing the executive
00:14
MHA program there are a number of ways
00:17
in which this program is allowing
00:20
Cornell University to educate more
00:22
healthcare leaders Cornell can be a
00:26
remote place there are only so many
00:27
people that can access Ithaca and
00:30
especially for mid-career or senior
00:33
level professionals people are in a
00:35
place in their lives where they can't
00:36
leave their family or their job or their
00:39
children for two years to pursue a Masters
00:42
of Health Administration the executive
00:45
MHA program is an 18-month 37 credit
00:48
program and it's designed for working
00:52
professionals with at least five years
00:53
of experience our students come from all
00:57
sub sectors of healthcare some come from
01:00
the provider space others come from the
01:02
payer space there are folks from biotech
01:05
Pharma medical device there are
01:07
healthcare consultants people who work
01:09
in healthcare IT people who work in
01:12
government people who do clinical trial
01:14
research because of this wide range of
01:16
experience our students will learn just
01:19
as much if not more from each other as
01:21
they will from the faculty our faculty
01:24
are extremely enthusiastic and they get
01:27
that energy from the students the
01:29
students are very eager to learn and are
01:32
very eager to apply exactly what they're
01:35
doing at work and that energy is
01:38
infectious they tell me that the rigor
01:40
of the curriculum has forced them to put
01:43
together study groups where they're in
01:45
virtual study groups online they've seen
01:47
each other in their pajamas they know
01:49
each other's children so really this is
01:52
a way to expand access to this kind of
01:55
health care leadership education
