Over 75% of Iowa EMHA 2018 Graduates Promoted to Leadership Positions Within Four Months

Clinical Associate Professor and Executive MHA Program Director

Advancing to Leadership is the program’s tagline and that’s exactly what our 2018 graduates are doing! Within just four months of graduation, 75% of that cohort advanced to promotions or new jobs. One is Sean Boarini, (Executive) MHA '18, who is now the Director of Surgical Services at The Iowa Clinic in Des Moines. Sean shared his administrative expertise with our traditional-track first-year students when they were there for a site visit in September. (see below)

Two recent Executive MHA graduates chose to leave their employments and start administrative fellowships. Katie Fredericks, (Executive) MHA '18, joined Kaiser Permanente, Los Angeles in July of this year and Katie Schaier, (Executive) MHA '18, will join UI Physicians in June 2019. Leaving employment after graduation to start an administrative fellowship is a big step, and we're certain that both Katies will benefit as much as Michael Powell, (Executive) MHA '17, has in his 2017-19 UnityPoint Corporate fellowship. When asked how the Executive program assisted in his Advance to Leadership he said, “It provided an understanding of the current state of the healthcare environment and the tools necessary to provide the best level of care for all who need it”.

Konnichiwa from Japan!   As I sit down to write this blog post, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and accomplishment as I reflect on my time as an intern at Nihon Keiei Consulting Group in Osaka, Japan. This summer has been nothing short of remarkable, offering me a unique blend of professional development and cultural immersion that I will cherish forever.   During my time at Nihon Keiei, I had the opportunity to engage in in-depth research and analysis, creating comprehensive market profiles for the healthcare sectors in the Philippines and India. These profiles laid the foundation for strategic expansion plans, and it was an honor to present my findings and recommendations to a senior consultant during insightful one-on-one meetings. These interactions were not only professionally enriching but also allowed me to witness firsthand how strategic decisions shape the course of an organization's growth.   One of the most rewarding experiences during my internship was the develop
