    MHCI Admissions Events

    We invite you to attend an admissions event to learn about the University of Pennsylvania's online Master of Health Care Innovation degree from staff, students, and alumni.

    Through high-quality, engaging online education, the MHCI program forges a community of innovative thinkers and leaders and prepares them to improve health care. Alumni say that they think differently about challenges they encounter in health care, and in response they emerge as change agents within a complex system.
