Transforming Health Through Design
As a graduate of the M.A. in Design focused on Health, you’ll become the change agent that drives health systems to be value-based, integrated, person-centered, and focused on health, not just care. You’ll wield a creative, problem-solving mindset and the design skills to see the places where the health system is broken and how to take action to fix it. When you put your design skills to work, the health system of the future will put people first.
