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.

John Godina, Mini-MBA in Senior Living

Three-time World Championship winner and two-time Olympic medal winner in the shot put

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.
