My View

Health care administration

An Interview With...

Jean Marie Carroll, Nurse Coordinator, Pediatric Advanced Care Team, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

What benefits have you seen with the HCA program? T
he health care administration program provided me with a broader understanding of the meaning of leadership and management. It enhanced the foundation that my undergraduate program and real-life work experiences gave me. My professional practice has been enhanced with a new perspective of managing and negotiating in the health care arena. It has increased my confidence when working in new leadership roles.

How has the program worked with your "real" life? The structure of the program allowed me to balance a full-time career and family life by doing courses at a pace that made sense for a work/life balance. The option to do on-line classes offers flexibility in a very fast-paced work force.

What else would you say to someone considering the program? I would recommend this program to other individuals seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in the hopes of advancing their career path.
