A High-quality Online MBA, Healthcare at an Incomparable Cost
Healthcare is reaching a tipping point. Modern healthcare leaders need to bridge gaps between departments, engage teams, develop talent, and optimize systems for patient-centered care. Northern Arizona University (NAU)’s online Master of Business Administration, Healthcare presented in partnership with OpusVi™ will give you a holistic perspective on the inner workings of healthcare so you’re ready to lead meaningful change and make a lasting impact.
A World-class Program Created for Solving Challenges in a Post-pandemic World
It’s no secret that better education for nurses has a positive impact on patient care — yet affordable education options for nurses remain notoriously inaccessible. Dignity OpusVi™ and Northern Arizona University (NAU) have now launched an affordable, unparalleled MS in Nursing (Emphasis in Strategic Systems Leadership) to combat this problem. The 100% online format and engaging learning platform allow working professionals to gain qualifications on their own schedule. With a focus on strategic systems leadership, our program equips nurse leaders to manage complex industry challenges and develop innovative approaches that engage diverse stakeholders to advance systems and processes for better healthcare.
Be The Champion Healthcare Needs
The Mini-MBA in Healthcare certificate provides healthcare professionals with the training and skills to navigate the business of healthcare and to thrive during turbulent times. It is an opportunity for those wanting to grow their career into higher-level positions of management, further their understanding of the business of healthcare, and learn tactics to apply leadership skills to harness productivity and build sustainable workplaces.
A New Kind of Business Program, Tailored to Rural Healthcare Management
Rural healthcare comes with a complex and unique set of challenges — at the same time, rural settings offer opportunities for growth and impact that are exponentially higher than those in urban areas. However, traditional healthcare management and business programs often don’t equip health leaders to navigate these environments. OpusVi™ and the University of Arizona’s Eller Executive Education believe that rural healthcare professionals deserve to be empowered to make a true impact on their communities and to pursue a highly fulfilling career. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Mini-MBA in Rural Healthcare, a condensed business management program with a twist, specifically tailored to the needs of rural healthcare professionals.

Your Play Book to the Drug Commercialization Process

Pharma professionals need to navigate both the regulatory and business realities of the drug commercialization process and bridge the gap between scientific innovation and business goals in order to lead successful go-to-market strategies. OpusVi™ and the University of Arizona’s Eller Executive Education have created the Mini-MBA in Drug Commercialization & Product Strategy to help you develop an understanding of pharmaceutical product development, commercialization, and regulations as well as the business and management skills that you need to master the drug commercialization process from bench to bedside.

“When I started, we had not won a single Olympic medal in Trinidad and Tobago for 20 years and I won four of them. Quite frankly, if it’s been done before, I’m not that interested. When I heard the concept and I saw how unique an approach this was to a Mini-MBA in Healthcare, to infuse knowledge from sports, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. I’m here because I feel like this is something that's not been done before.”

The Mini-MBA in Rural Healthcare from OpusVi™ and the University of Arizona’s Eller Executive Education provides an important educational opportunity for professionals to hone their business skills while also deepening their understanding of a vital, yet often overlooked, aspect of the health industry. My involvement with this program stems from the commitment of both organizations to make sure students are exposed to the most relevant content related to leading in rural health environments. As an emerging leader in this particular space, I’m excited to offer my experience and expertise so that students have everything they need to become the successful leader their organization and community needs.
