The MASTER’S IN MEDICAL LEADERSHIP (MML) is designed for practicing physicians and clinicians who are either in a leadership role or desire a leadership role in a health care or hospital system. The program will prepare these individuals for current and future leadership positions and enable them to take advantage of opportunities and drive change in complex healthcare systems.
Flexible Structure
The master’s degree requires 10 courses and can be completed either full-time or part-time. We expect typical completion within 24 months. A graduate certificate option of five courses will provide a future pathway to completing the full master’s degree at a later time. The graduate certificate does not take the place of the master’s degree. However, it does provide an option to gain knowledge more quickly, adding a valuable credential to your background.
Our low-residency design accommodates the busy schedules and competing priorities of healthcare professionals. Each course is eight weeks long, with two courses each fall/spring semester and one during the summer term. This pattern creates a comfortable pace over 24 months, including generous breaks between semesters.
Opportunities
Each course is designed for online learning through a combination of asynchronous and synchronous learning activities. Each fall and spring semester is anchored by a two-day immersive symposium students must attend. Students will also attend their capstone presentations in the final summer of their program sequence. While independent studies outside the program’s residential requirement offer students a great deal of flexibility in how to digest educational content and complete assignments, a program mentor is assigned to each cohort to help students stay on track and ensure the successful completion of their capstone project.
