ORLANDO, Fla. - Central Florida’s newest medical school, the Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine (OCOM), is excited to announce a new partnership with AdventHealth University (AHU) that provides OCOM students and employees a streamlined pathway to obtain a Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) degree. This partnership includes two exclusive benefits: a 10 percent discount on tuition for all OCOM participants and guaranteed admission.
This collaboration aims to enhance the career development of OCOM’s future physicians, administrators, and healthcare leaders, while supporting employees who wish to further their education in healthcare administration. The Master of Healthcare Administration in Strategy and Innovation program at AHU is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills to manage complex healthcare organizations, aligning with OCOM’s mission of developing modern, well-rounded healthcare professionals.
Dr. Robert Hasty, founding dean and chief academic officer at OCOM, shared, “This partnership reflects OCOM’s commitment to providing opportunities that enhance both clinical and administrative expertise. We are proud to offer our students and employees a dedicated path to achieving leadership roles in healthcare.”
The 10 percent tuition discount and guaranteed admission underscore both institutions' commitment to making advanced education accessible. Criteria for guaranteed admission includes holding a graduate degree.
“Quite often, a physician wants to better understand how the business of health care works,” said Benita David, DBA, MBA, chair of AdventHealth University’s Healthcare Administration program. “At AdventHealth University, our goal is to develop mission-focused health care professionals who are influential, highly skilled, and compassionate. We are so grateful to partner with Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine to extend our mission to their team members and students.”
