507

Course Description:
This course was developed to focus on the unique aspects of financial management of health care organizations. The unique financial issues of the health care service organizations are due to the not-for-profit nature of many service providers. Another aspect of health care organization finance is that there are many unique industries within the industry that require specialized financial knowledge. These include biotech, pharma, payors, real estate, and academic med centers to list a few. Nashville is unique among American cities for being home to a variety of health care companies. This course is designed to explore many of the financial nuances of several of these companies through the eyes of the business and financial executives who manage these companies. The broad objective of this course is to permit you to explore the financial structure and financial performance of area companies within the health care industry by something more than text reading and class lecture, but also interaction with health care industry leadership.
