Health Systems Management Program Description
The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (JHSON) proposes to offer a new Post-Master‘s Certificate in Health Systems Management (HSM). The Post-Master's Certificate in HSM will allow graduates of JHSON Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) (Entry into Nursing) Program to accelerate their leadership careers in nursing and will also make them eligible for consideration for admission into the Post-Master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice Program (Executive Track) at JHSON. The Certificate will also allow nurses who have completed a non-specialty MSN degree (e.g., nursing education) and/or non-nursing Master’s degree (e.g., public health) to be eligible for consideration for admission into the Post-Master’s DNP Program (Executive Track). Graduates of this program will be eligible to apply for certifications available for nurse leaders offered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the American Organization of Nurse Executives. <br> <br>The Post-Master’s Certificate in HSM builds capacity for nurses to take leadership roles in improving the health of communities locally, nationally, and globally. Students will be provided with broad access to leadership and management educational as well as experiential opportunities through interdisciplinary collaborations with faculty, students, and exceptional leaders in the Schools of Public Health and Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Medicine and Health System and a vibrant network of clinical partners outside the Johns Hopkins Health System.  The proposed program will be offered in both online and on-campus modalities.
