Pretty much everyone working in business or management has heard of the MBA degree. However, few healthcare leaders have the time, money or need for such a lengthy and expensive programme.
What is often more useful and relevant to a frontline healthcare leader is an accelerated programme that will give them the skills, knowledge and capabilities they need to overcome the most urgent and immediate challenges their health service faces.
That’s where so-called mini MBAs such as IHLM’s popular Healthcare MBA Essentials course really come into their own. They distil the most relevant and important content from a one or two year MBA programme into a course that can be studied in a fraction of that time. At IHLM we’ve designed our course to require just 40 hours of learning – that’s 4 hours a week over 10 weeks.
Other than length, what are the other big differences between a mini MBA and a full Master of Business Administration degree?
In summary, mini MBAs are a great way to enjoy the same learning experience as a full MBA degree. That means the same chances to collaborate with others and the same opportunities to develop practical skills. For an aspiring healthcare leader or manager, IHLM’s Healthcare MBA Essentials course provides an immersive, interactive and supportive learning environment that will enable you to have a real impact on the performance of your healthcare service – all at a fraction of the cost and commitment of a full MBA degree.
