Testimonial

Krit Sarai, MHSAKrit Sarai, MHSA

"The University of Kansas MHSA program holds a special place in my life as it has developed me into who I am today, whether that be personally or professionally. Throughout the curriculum, the program emphasizes active learning surrounded by real-world case studies. These practices, as well as many others, promote critical-thinking and collaboration skills, both of which are crucial in the healthcare industry. Education aside, the amount my network has increased whether that be connecting with healthcare leaders or making friends with my peers and faculty, I know I will be able to lean on my cohort in the future. This program actively challenges you all while supporting you in whatever endeavor you choose to embark on, both during and after the program and I am glad I made the decision to attend KU Medical Center for my degree."

"Few programs match the strength of KUMC's MHSA course offerings, depth of practical knowledge among the faculty, or the diversity of its student population and alumni. Truly, the MHSA program at KUMC provides students with a meaningful and dynamic opportunity to learn from and interact with experienced professionals representing acute care hospitals, medical groups, health insurance companies, skilled nursing facilities, home care and hospice agencies, just to name a few. Such an environment is the perfect laboratory in which ambitious and determined individuals can expand their understanding of health services administration, establish lifelong personal relationships, and establish a strong foundation upon which to achieve amazing professional success."

"There are certain moments which serve as proverbial forks in the road along the path of life. My decision to pursue an MHSA at KUMC was the critical moment in my professional development that has led me down a path of professional success and personal fulfillment that would not be possible otherwise."
