100 Great Health Administration Professors and Leaders
Healthcare administration is one of the fastest growing career fields. Professors and academic leaders play an important role in the development of students, alumni, colleagues, and healthcare as a whole. Their achievements range from the impact on students to their impacts on the greater healthcare landscape.
Professors of healthcare administration and management help create policies, guidelines, and ideas in the field. Therefore, because of the crucial role professors and academic leaders play in the overall landscape of our healthcare system, MHA Guide has developed the 2013 List of 100 Great Health Administration Professors and Leaders.
Hopefully this list will help others recognize the impact these professors have on all of us. In particular, these professionals continue to strengthen students, alumni, and their own schools. The criteria* for our 100 Great Health Administration Professors and Leaders was based on the personal achievements and leadership positions of these individuals as well as the reputation of their respective institutions. Our list is in no particular order because all of these professors and academic leaders have a Great impact on their field and their institution.
MHA Guide lists are compiled and updated each year, so please feel free to nominate a professor or academic leader for next year’s list!
