Current Program: MS in Health Systems Administration Undergraduate school: BS in Public Health - Rutgers University Hometown: Eatontown, NJ
Why did you come to Georgetown?
I chose Georgetown University because it has a reputation for academic
excellence. For instance, Georgetown University’s Health
Systems Administration program offers the courses necessary to
prepare one for a career in health care administration. In
addition, Georgetown’s location in Washington D.C. provides
a breadth of opportunity for health care management and policy
experience and mentorship.
What is your favorite part about your program?
The classroom experience is priceless as the professors provide real-world
testimonies about what it means to work in the health care field,
which helps put the coursework and readings into perspective. After
every class, one can walk away with both the theory and the practical
advice that can be used during a future career as a health care
administrator.
What is one piece of advice that you would give
to prospective/current students?
Choose a program that provides many tools for success. Practical
experience and mentorship opportunities in addition to a strong academic
record are the key ingredients for a strong educational experience,
and Georgetown offers all of those factors in addition to many others.
