I could tell you a long, boring story about reinventing self or effectively 
transitioning a career from the for-profit corporate world into education or health care. However, I find that particularly uninteresting.. You would too.
Nor do I need to try and sell you the program with an elaborate list of its advantages vs. other degree choices. You don't need or want that.
Instead, I will inform you about what you can expect as a student in the University of Rochester's graduate program in Health Systems Leadership by asking you a few simple questions.
- Are you are interested in kick starting your career or making a move into a leadership role in health care?
- Are your heart and mind set on achieving something great as you prepare a solid educational foundation in health policy, health economics and leadership itself?
- Are you willing to apply a concerted effort in a challenging, yet supportive academic environment created by program advisors, faculty and your fellow students?
Don't ask yourself, "Is this the right choice for me?" Instead, step boldly and confidently in the pursuit of your future.
Ask to see the list of program alumni who have successfully navigated the program's curriculum only to find their own spectacular careers. Similarly, you will soon find yourself in the midst of a cohort of future leaders and well along your own path to success.
The simple fact is this - the program works. It was an honor for me to be selected to participate in the inaugural class of the Masters program in Health Systems Leadership.
