Vision
Plan: Letter of Intent Project Title:
Certificate in Health Policy, Management and Technology Abstract:
This effort would establish an interdisciplinary course of study and certificate
program in health policy management and technology. It would add introductory
courses, distance learning opportunities, field experiences and externships
to existing offerings in the Department of Social Sciences, Center for
Biomedical Engineering, Department of Biological Sciences, School of Business
and Economics and Department of Humanities. Demand for professionals competent
in bridging relationships between medical practice, regulation, law, management,
ethics, biotechnology and communication is increasing. Interest at MTU
is strong, as evident in Spring 2001 faculty discussions under a Faculty
Development Committee award and health-related course enrollment. The
program compliments initiatives in biotechnology and information technology,
would assist in recruiting students with broader interests and would meet
the local health community's professional development needs.
