Executive MHA (EMHA) Testimonials

Candice Grobler , '21

Administrative Assistant, Baptist Health South Florida – Boca Raton Regional Hospital
 

"Throughout my experience in the program, I’ve had opportunities to grow as a leader, gain knowledge specific to healthcare, network extensively with fellow students who are at many different levels in their careers, and be mentored and guided by top-class staff. The EMHA also offers networking opportunities with local leaders and members of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), as well as coaching, and assistance with job interviews, resumes, cover letters, and ways to best market yourself to employers and other leaders."

Hopal Watson Grenion '20

Senior Physician Recruiter, Weatherby Healthcare

"Starting the EMHA program at FAU was one of the BEST decisions I have ever made. Having worked in healthcare for five years, I felt it was time for me to broaden my knowledge of this dynamic industry from an administrative perspective. The wide variety of classes has provided me with a greater understanding of the industry and has given me the skills to be a leader in the workplace. The onset of COVID-19 really brought examples of healthcare leadership to the forefront of the course and gave us many opportunities to explore, understand, and discuss the constant changes and challenges in the industry."

 

Pedro Macedo de Lima Quinto '21

Government Operations Consultant, Florida Department of Health

"As an experienced healthcare professional in my native country of Brazil, my goal in starting an EMHA program at FAU was to grow my understanding of the US healthcare system, build a network, and grow my career. I am halfway into the program and feel like I made the right choice. I am on track to accomplish all my goals; my understanding of the industry is growing, I have met great colleagues at FAU, and I am currently working for the Florida Department of Health."

Sabby Hightower '20

Corporate Compliance & FQHC Accreditation Leader, Treasure Coast Community Health

"This incredible program has opened my eyes to what's really important. Without love and support from my family, cohorts, professors, and coworkers, I would not be where I am today. I dedicate my degree to my beautiful, precious, and amazing family. As a first-generation college student who made it all the way through graduate school, I now have a whole new perspective on life. This pandemic taught me that if you are truly dedicated and focused on your goals, then you can achieve anything and finish strong. I can honestly say that I've grown in ways that I could never have imagined."
