Abstract:
It is imperative to prepare Business School Health Services Administration (HSAD) graduates with management tools to assess patient need and reduce barriers to care alongside clinicians. HSAD programs require interprofessional learning activities to shape competency and skill in community needs assessment. This HSAD program works collaboratively across the University community and with external partners to offer such an experience. Integrating this concept into the curriculum encourages graduates as early careerists to implement services and resources for patient need. Understanding that problems exists is a precursor to an economic valuation of such prevalent conditions as the dynamic opioid epidemic.
