The University of Scranton’s Master in Health Administration (MHA) program joined an elite group of programs representing just 14 colleges in the nation that have earned the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) Mentorship Circle status.

In addition to achieving the high standards of CAHME accreditation, the CAHME Mentorship Circle designation recognizes programs that engage in a variety of activities that help to extend CAHME’s mission of advancing the quality of graduate health care management education by providing opportunities to other students and other programs to advance their own experiences and skills for the good of the entire health care field. Scranton’s MHA program was recognized for its participation as a mentor for global programs as part of CAHME’s Global Accreditation Initiative.

“We think about our community globally, not just locally. That’s why we have projects in several countries around the world and why we partner with other universities,” said Daniel West, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Health Administration and Human Resources at The University of Scranton.

The University’s Health Administration program has worked with numerous educational and health care institutions across the globe, including the University of Georgia in Tbilisi, Georgia, Trnava University in Slovakia, and St. Elizabeth College of Health and Social Work in Bratislava, Slovakia, in addition to offering service opportunities for students in Mexico and Kenya.
