Health Care Management
M.B.A. Graduates
The University of Pennsylvania was founded by
Benjamin Franklin in 1740. Although the University
carries the name of the Commonwealth, it is not
a state university but an independent, private,
nonsectarian institution. As one of the countrys
earliest educational institutions, it has consistently
initiated advances in teaching and research and
has steadily generated specialized fields of higher
education. Penn, as the University is commonly
known, was the first American university to form
departments of botany, hygiene and public health,
surgical research, and research medicine. The
University School of Medicine, formed in 1765,
was the first in North America, as was the teaching
hospital founded in 1874. The worlds first
psychological clinic was opened at Penn in 1896.
The Wharton School, in the same spirit of
innovation and excellence, was the worlds first
collegiate school of business and management.
Founded in 1881 with a gift from Joseph Wharton,
the Philadelphia industrialist and philanthropist,
the Wharton School undertook the pioneer steps
in elevating training for business significantly
above its previous level as noncollegiate commercial
education. In 1921, the formation of the Graduate
Program signaled the advancement of business
administration at Wharton to the highest levels
of professional education.
Today, the Wharton School has more than 270
faculty members teaching in both the graduate
and undergraduate divisions and conducting a
continually expanding volume of research. The
1,700 students in the masters degree program
may choose from among more than 200 courses
and over 18 majors and concentrations, a variety
reflecting the fact that the Wharton education
complements the career goals of the individual.
This brochure is provided to introduce you to
the 2015 Wharton Health Care Management
Program graduates.
We encourage you to consider these individuals
for employment.
Program Description
The Graduate Program in Health Care Management
is a full-time two-year MBA curriculum offered
by the Health Care Management Department of
the Wharton School. The program, the principal
educational effort at the Leonard Davis Institute
of Health Economics, is designed to provide
managerial and technical expertise to students
interested in the health care management field.
By combining the skills of the Wharton disciplines
with sensitivity to the needs of health care providers
and recipients, the Wharton MBA health care
graduate can effectively manage the delivery of
health services and products at all levels.
The Program has produced graduates who have
chosen careers in hospitals and other medical
institutions, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and
medical device companies, financial services,
entrepreneurial ventures, consulting firms,
insurance firms, private health industry, and
federal, state, and local government. Many
of these MBA graduates now hold positions
as chief executive officers, directors, and other
key decision makers in health care organizations.
