Students must complete at least 9 credits of foundation coursework before taking core courses.
Administrative Residency
An administrative residency in a health care organization is offered to all students. Students lacking health services administrative experience are encouraged to complete an administrative residency.
The residency is considered an integral part of the educational process. It is designed to provide practical experience with the theories, concepts, and administrative skills the students acquired in academic study. The residency is generally arranged in an agency or institution compatible with the student’s area of interest. The student works with an organizational preceptor in the health agency during this period, and the experience is supervised by a faculty preceptor.
Students must apply for the administrative residency, complete an educational plan, be approved and be placed in an agency by the Residency Coordinator the semester before the residency begins.
