CMC designated programs engage in mentorship, best practice dissemination, and other activities that support continuous improvement in healthcare management education. "Being part of the CMC is more than an honor; it's a pledge to the field," stated Dr. Anthony Stanowski, president and CEO of CAHME. "Becoming a CMC Program means that the diverse voices of our students and faculty will contribute to a national dialogue to improve the effectiveness of all CAHME accredited programs," shared University of Phoenix College of Health Professions Associate Dean, Graduate Programs, Dr. Heather Steiness. University of Phoenix's Master of Health Administration program is designed for early- to mid-career health professionals seeking advanced education while remaining employed. The program equips students with the necessary competencies to grow professionally, drive cross-system transformation in line with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Triple Aim, and engage constructively with their communities. The program aims to foster health sector leaders who are authentic, transparent, and creative - who think critically and with agility, comfortable at the intersection of industry expertise and academic scholarship. "Being a CMS Program allows us to contribute to the continuous improvement of all CAHME accredited programs while continuing to evolve ours," stated Dr. Mark Johannsson, dean of the College of Health Professions at the University of Phoenix.
