Every person deserves to be served by a healthcare system that consistently delivers reliable performance, process improvement and systematic implementation with each care experience and transition. The Executive Master’s and Certificate programs will unleash a systematic, evidence-based education that will achieve striking results in safety, quality, leadership and healthcare value.
The Executive Master’s in Clinical Quality, Safety and Leadership has been certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME).
Georgetown’s Executive Master’s in Clinical Quality, Safety and Leadership and the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) believe a coordinated, quality-competent healthcare workforce begins in the classroom and have teamed up to provide you with access to impactful content rooted in principles of patient safety and waste reduction.
