The Association of University Programs in Health Administration is holding the 2012 Annual Meeting May 31 – June 3, 2012 in Minneapolis, MN. The Annual Meeting brings together graduate and undergraduate faculty to share ideas and proven practices in educating future practitioners in healthcare management. The meeting features thought leaders who provoke new ideas and direction for healthcare management education. The largest of our educational meetings, the Annual Meeting provides exceptional opportunities for networking with faculty at domestic and international healthcare management programs.
This year's Annual Meeting is about Embracing Transformation. Every facet of healthcare, and likewise healthcare management and policy education, is transforming. From healthcare reform to the impact of HIT implementation; from new healthcare and education delivery models to the shrinking global landscape; from evolving business models in higher education to the increasing diversity of our students; there is literally nothing that remains unchanged about the work we do as educators in healthcare management. To stay ahead of the curve, health management educators must embrace the changing landscape to ensure our students are prepared to adapt to and thrive in this dynamic environment.
