The Master of Science in Healthcare Administration and Interprofessional Leadership Program (MS-HAIL) at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) is excited to renew our educational sponsorship with CAHL-ACHE.  This is a natural partnership to help professionals achieve their educational and career goals.  As a benefit of this partnership, current ACHE members are eligible to receive a $5,000 tuition remission provided by the UCSF MS-HAIL program.

Most leaders appreciate that lifelong learning is the gift that keeps on giving!  But in today’s fast-paced and highly demanding healthcare environment how can leaders achieve both their academic and career goals while still contributing to their organization’s mission? The UCSF MS-HAIL program was specifically designed with these working health professionals in mind.

MS-HAIL is a unique, online graduate program designed so students can earn their master’s degree in as little of one-year.  The program welcomes students from a range of clinical and non-clinical disciplines across the healthcare continuum. The hybrid online/on-campus model includes six online classes, three face-to-face on-campus sessions, and two administrative practicum courses in the student’s workplace. The online curriculum focuses on four content areas: Leadership & Change, Health System Management, Health Systems Research, and Interprofessional Practice. Within each area, students examine issues facing healthcare professionals every day: organizational complexity, leadership, innovation, healthcare policy and economics, effective business practices, and management of social and human capital.

We encourage CAHL-ACHE members who are interested in continuing their educational journey to contact us. We are currently accepting applications.
