2 PhD Programs in Healthcare Management 2023

Healthcare management usually provides students the knowledge and critical-thinking skills necessary for the management of healthcare delivery systems and health services. Managers plan, direct and coordinate medical and healthcare services. Students might find themselves in positions managing entire facilities, specific departments or a group of physicians in a medical practice.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
