About

Shaping visionary leaders in the future of healthcare and public health

In the department of Management, Policy, and Community Health (MPACH), we strike a harmonious balance between academic rigor and practical involvement.

Equipping students with the tools to lead health departments, government agencies, healthcare organizations, research facilities, and culturally sensitive programs is our mission. 

We teach a variety of professionals and prepare all for work in healthcare, medical industries, social science research, health departments, non-profits, and community-based organizations – all collaborating to enhance both clinical and societal well-being. 

Our faculty creates a dynamic learning environment that seamlessly integrates real-world insights with classroom theories, drawing from their own experiences as well as the knowledge our students share. This constructive intersection between real-world experience and formal education enriches our curriculum and fosters a vibrant culture of engagement and mentorship throughout our department.
