EMBA Healthcare Leadership Residential Sessions
The Executive MBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership program includes four week-long residential sessions. These sessions are held at the beginning of each academic term. Fall residential sessions take place at the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, New York, and spring residential sessions are held in the NYC metro area.
Integrated leadership coaching
While professional development is an integral part of the entire EMBA/MS curriculum, leadership programming during residential sessions will give you specific, guided opportunities to define and progress in your individual career plan. Whether you want to grow within your organization or transition to a different area of the healthcare industry, the EMBA Career Development Office provides leadership and career coaching, which is emphasized during your residential sessions.
Cross-cohort collaboration
During your second EMBA/MS residential session, you’ll have the opportunity to take electives with students who are in their second year of the EMBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership program. This introduction to a new group of students from the healthcare industry will grow your network and bring new perspectives to the classroom.
