STANFORD SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

THE PROGRAM

Blending Stanford's expertise across medicine, management and digital innovation

MCiM is an invaluable investment in the AI era — a 12-month master's degree for working professionals poised to lead technology's transformation of health care.

"I came in with deep health system experience from UPMC and City of Hope, but the program sharpened my ability to frame problems in a way that resonates with CFOs, CMIOs, and patients all at once."

ALUMNI VOICE

I started in a manager position. While in the program, I got a part-time director role, then three months later became Assistant CIO, then two months ago — Chief Information Officer. That's because of the conversations and inspiration from my MCiM mentors. That is the kind of magic you see happening to almost everyone at MCiM every single day.

My time at MCiM has accelerated my career as a healthcare leader, transformed the way I think about healthcare, and connected me with amazing friends who share my passions and goals.

MCiM is more than just a degree — it's a transformative journey that equips you with the knowledge, skills, and network needed to tackle today's public health challenges and excel in the dynamic biotech landscape.

Don't underestimate the value of your experience just because it's not in business or tech. You belong in the room where these decisions are being made. MCiM gives you the foundation, the language, and the network to grow into those spaces.

MCiM empowered me to make this transition, and now I get to spend time in industry and academia, which is the career I always wanted.
