Healthcare Finance: How Profits and Business Models Shape the Value Chain

This course is designed to equip healthcare leaders with a macro view of U.S. healthcare profit pools and a micro set of finance tools they can apply directly in leadership roles. Through the course, students will build a system-level understanding of how money flows across payors, providers, life sciences, and new entrants—and how those flows are evolving in response to regulation, innovation, and consumer expectations. By engaging with case studies, modeling exercises, and practical finance tools, participants will develop the ability to interpret organizational performance, evaluate trade-offs, and frame financial narratives that resonate with boards and C-suites.
