MGT 420 - Research in Healthcare Management

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

As the capstone course for the Health Management major, students learn to apply rigorous statistical and analytical approaches to research questions in health services, but not limited to questions relating to management, finance and economics, operations, and policy. Faculty identify several available research project options and present these options in class. The goal is to capitalize on the strength of the university medical school and affiliated medical centers, in addition to capitalizing on existing relationships between Olin and health care firms to identify the student research projects. Students also are encouraged to formulate their own research question and to identify potential data sources they could use to address these questions, if they so desire. Students work in teams of three to four, using the approach developed for the Practicum and Hatchery courses.
