Who should study this program

Dr. Sylvain Trepanier, DNP, RN, CENP, FAONL, FAAN

SVP, System Chief Nursing Officer - Providence

Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare industry was facing workforce challenges. Our partnership with OpusVi™ is helping to support caregivers at our family of organizations through quality education and development so that we can be part of the solution. Investing in professional development for the nation’s caregivers will assist us in stabilizing the workforce.

Margaret Werner MSN, RN

OpusVi’s Preceptor Program transformed how we evaluate and support our team. The detailed insights allowed us to identify and address performance risks before they could impact patient safety. With this level of clarity, we’re now confident that our preceptors are equipped to provide exceptional care and guidance, safeguarding both our patients and our nursing teams.

Andy Brailo

In our network of valued customers, the impact of the healthcare staffing shortage is palpable. We witness the challenges our partners face as they navigate through the critical shortage of skilled professionals. We look for strategic partnerships to support us in our commitment to addressing these workforce challenges with innovative solutions and offerings. This is essential in order for us to continue to contribute to the resilience and excellence of healthcare delivery within our community.”

Craig Ahrens

Chief Growth Officer, ShiftMed

Critical problems require innovative and comprehensive solutions. While the healthcare industry is facing a major staffing crisis, it’s encouraging to see impactful and leading-edge solutions evolving across the technology marketplace to not only tackle immediate needs but also highlight the importance of strong workforce development initiatives.

Ashok Subramanian

Dean of The William A. Franke College of Business at Northern Arizona University

Unlike many MBA programs which tend to specialize around functional lines such as finance, marketing, or analytics, my preference is to specialize along industry lines because every industry has its unique processes, models, problem structures, metrics, and key performance indicators. That’s why I’m very excited about this partnership. Healthcare is a unique industry and combining NAU’s business expertise with OpusVi™’s industry insights will allow us to teach business in the right industry context — this feeds well into my philosophical approach and will empower healthcare professionals to excel in their careers and achieve greatness for their organizations and their communities.

Kurt Hayes

This program is built on relevance and employs practical, proven pedagogy throughout — we carefully design every aspect of the experience so students can succeed, improve their overall wellbeing, and make a real difference in their careers.

Julia Profit-Johnson, RN, BSN

I was really impressed with the content. All topics were relevant and ‘real-time’. I found it interesting that it covered all subjects that would be important for nurse leaders, whether it was finance, communications within the team or to executive teams. It prepares those who want to progress to the next level of leadership.

Nicole DeJong

Director of Learning Experience Design at OpusVi

We’re proud of the learning experience we have created for this program. It’s truly immersive and practice-based learning. For example, we employ medical office simulation software so that learners can practice the exact tasks they will do on the job in a safe environment. Additionally, we have strategies in place to build a social learning community throughout the program. Learners can exchange ideas and network across multiple health systems even before they meet in-person during their skill boot camps.

I opened and owned multiple fitness and sports training businesses since my retirement as an athlete. What is critical is knowing the processes of moving from one industry to another. By bringing the sports perspective into this Mini-MBA, we want to help people understand the nuances of the mental approach, the processes of goal setting, and the experiences around recovery. It provides a knowledge base that helps a medical provider transition into the business aspects of healthcare.
