HSAD 493 - Health Services Administration Virtual Practicum

4 Credits
Registration Internship/Practicum Note: Contact the Practicum Coordinator two semesters in advance of taking this course to begin the approval process. Approval for enrollment in the course is required by the Program Director.

This course is for special situations when students require a virtual experience with Program Director approval. This virtual experience provides an opportunity for the student to apply administrative skills as they complete a non-clinical health care scenario case study. The experience may be completed in coordination with a Michigan based healthcare organization. The virtual practicum will require students to critically think and communicate direct knowledge of managerial functions, policies and procedures, budget/financial, human resource, quality performance improvement, and legal and ethical principles. Students are expected to document a minimum of 120 hours working on the designated scenario to meet both program accreditation requirements and graduation requirements for a bachelor’s degree in Health Services Administration. Students are required to complete the Health Services Administration Exit Examination as part of the core completion requirements.
