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.
Leadership has always been critical to organizational life, but it has acquired new significance in recent years. Acts of leadership are of greater importance during periods of uncertainty, restructuring, and change, conditions that now confront health organizations worldwide.
