Program Description
The Graduate Program in Health Care Management is a full-time two-year MBA curriculum offered by the Health Care Manage- ment Department of the Wharton School. The program, the principal educational effort at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, is designed to provide managerial and technical expertise to students interested in the health care management field. By combining the skills of the Wharton disciplines with sensitivity to the needs of health care providers and recipients, the Wharton MBA health care graduate can effectively manage the delivery of health services and products at all levels.
The Program has produced graduates who have chosen careers in hospitals and other medical institutions, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies, financial services, entrepreneurial ventures, consulting firms, insurance firms, private health industry, and federal, state, and local government. Many of these MBA graduates now hold positions as chief executive officers, directors, and other key decision makers in health care organizations.
The Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) is an interdisciplinary center for research and education in the organization, financing, and delivery of health care. Through LDI, University of Pennsylvania faculty and staff work together on issues concerning health policy, health insurance, managed care, hospitals, corporations, pharmaceutical companies, and other health- related organizations. Established in 1967, the Institute appropriately bears the name of the late Leonard Davis, one of the foremost innovators in private health insurance in the United States. He was the founder of Colonial Penn Group, Inc., a company that has pioneered in insurance for older Americans. Both Mr. Davis and Mrs. Sophie Davis were generous benefactors to the University of Pennsylvania, contributing basic support for the activities of the Leonard Davis Institute.
