Health Industry Management HIMT

Please note: To expand the reach of the programs, the Biotechnology Management program and its major (BIOT) and the Health Industry Management program and its major (HIMT) are now encompassed in the new Health Enterprise Management (HEMA) major as part of the Health Enterprise Management program.

Only Full-Time MBA students in the class of 2009 and Part-Time MBA students who were enrolled prior to fall 2008 are eligible to major in Biotechnology Management (BIOT) and Health Industry Management (HIMT). All students who declare the Health Enterprise Management (HEMA) major must meet the requirements for that major.

For more information, please visit the Health Enterprise Management Web site.

Health Industry Management HIMT
Offered by the Health Industry Management Program

In order to complete a major in Health Industry Management (HIM), students must complete four courses. At least one course must be industry-specific and at least one course must be function-specific.
	Industry-specific courses:
		INTL-442	International Healthcare Systems**
		HEMA-440	Introduction to the Principles and Management of Health Industry Systems (formerly HIMT-440-0) **
		HEMA-441	Health Policy (formerly HIMT-441-0)
		HEMA-451	Legal Issues in Health Care Delivery (formerly HIMT-451)
		HEMA-453	Managerial Challenges in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical Device Industries (formerly HIMT-453-0)
		HEMA-455	Special Topics in Health Industry Management
		HEMA-512	Health Services Management Field Study/Project Management (formerly HIMT-512-0)
		HEMA-911	Biotechnology Models/Technology (formerly BIOT-911-0)

	Function-specific courses:
		ACCT-432	Information Technology in Healthcare Management
		ACCT-479	Financial Assessment & Performance Evaluation of Health Care Entities
		MGMT-444	Healthcare Economics and Strategy
	*	MORS-454A	Creating and Managing Strategic Alliances and
	*	HEMA-452B	Advanced Strategic Management in Healthcare (formerly HIMT-452-B)
		*Note: MORS 454-A and HEMA 452-B, taught by Prof. Zajac, are each 1/2 credit but must be taken together to count toward the HIMT major.

		In addition to the above courses, certain sections of the following offerings may also satisfy HIM major requirements for a function-specific course subject to approval by the HIM Program Director. The following courses will generally satisfy the HIMT major requirements if taught by a Health Industry Management faculty member.
		MGMT-469	Empirical Methods in Strategy
		MGMT-463	Management of Technology

		** Both International Healthcare Systems and Introduction to the Principles and Management of Health Industry Systems are one credit courses, however, students can apply only one of these two courses to fulfill the Health Industry Management major requirement. In addition to these distribution requirements, students must attain the approval of the HIM Program Director. This approval is necessary since Program faculty want to assure students that they receive the optimal breadth and depth of training in this concentration, consistent with the individual’s background and career path.
