Simon offers a part-time MS program in Medical Management to provide physicians, hospital administrators, and medical professionals with management tools and an understanding of the key business issues that confront healthcare providers. The part-time structure of the program allows healthcare professionals to maintain their career and personal commitments while in the program.

The program, which consists of 31 credits, focuses on developing healthcare managers and leaders who will be confident in making key financial, operational, and strategic decisions for their organizations.
