Faculty
Our interdisciplinary faculty transform health care by crafting policy, shaping behavioral interventions, improving operations, and driving innovation. They also improve health care innovation by teaching students and professionals like you.
Whether you are learning in the Graduate Certificate or the Master of Health Care Innovation (MHCI) program, you will gain skills and knowledge in multiple facets of innovation and leadership from faculty across the University of Pennsylvania, including the Perelman School of Medicine and the Wharton School.
Implementing lasting change in health care requires passion, deep partnership, and persistence. Proactively and persistently request feedback to improve your solution until you get to yes—and then continue requesting feedback until your model becomes the standard.
