HSM Mission Statement The primary mission of the Department of Health Systems Management is to develop managers and leaders for health services and public health organizations through excellence in education. To achieve this mission, the Department’s faculty disseminates knowledge of health systems through teaching, writing, and professional practice. The companion mission of the Department is to advance knowledge of health systems through applied research and publication and to develop future researchers and educators. Underpinning both missions is a practitioner/scholar philosophy. This philosophy values using professional management and leadership experience as a guide in setting research and educational priorities. In striving to accomplish its mission, the Department recognizes the critical contributions of its stakeholders: the Department’s students, faculty, staff, alumni, as well as local, national, and international communities of health care providers and consumers.
