Learn More HEALTH CARE + INNOVATION = McCOMBS We're lucky to live in a city like Austin, where everything still seems possible - even a better health care system. We care about the people of Texas and about doing real work to make an actual difference in their lives, from the future generations we teach to the community we serve. And we measure our success by the contributions we make to society and the world at large. OUR CALLING We care about all people having access to safe, affordable health care. Our Value Institute for Health and Care with UT's Dell Medical School is changing the way we think about delivering care and building healthy lives with person-centered measurements for a better quality of life. Our work and mission are rooted in The Triple Aim: improving the experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing per capita costs. We do this by looking at systems improvement and innovation, improved teamwork and sensemaking, and tech that helps, not hinders, health care delivery, all while reducing waste and cost. There are over 15 researchers on our faculty who are actively working in or interested in solving some of health care's biggest challenges. Learn more HUMAN CENTERED. FUTURE FOCUSED. Our Students Campus to Community OUR STUDENTS They're What Change Looks Like We're excited about the future. Pardon the pun, but we're feeling pretty bullish about it. Why? Our students. The Business of Healthcare In 2016, we started the Business of Healthcare Certificate Program, open to all undergraduate majors, and in just two short years it has become the 2nd largest certificate on the 40 Acres. For students starting in 2020 or later, we are transitioning this program to a minor. Our students are among the best and brightest on The University of Texas campus, and they are looking to make a difference. Future health care professionals in our program are getting an early exposure to the business side of their future from one of the top business schools in the country. Our students in business, liberal arts, communication, and engineering are learning about the health care ecosystem and the opportunities for innovation at every level of the system. The Texas MBA Healthcare Concentration Our Texas MBA Healthcare Concentration, part of the full-time Texas MBA program, focuses on innovation, ecosystem, and analytics. It includes three courses taught by award-winning Texas McCombs faculty, one in partnership with UT Dell Med's Texas Health Catalyst, and a pharma innovation and commercialization course in partnership with the College of Pharmacy's Drug Dynamics Institute. MBA Healthcare Innovation Fellows The Health Innovation Fellows provide an avenue for students to experience in-depth health care programming to dissect and debate the many complexities of the U.S. health care system beyond the classroom.
