MS Health System Administration Program

Master’s Education
We are proud to have partnered with the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy to provide our Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (HSPAL) residents with a world class didactic education to complement their onsite residency training. Administration residents at BayCare Health System will be part of the UNC master’s cohort which includes administration residents from across a variety of practice sites including University of North Carolina Hospitals (UNCH), Duke University Health-System (DUHS), Wake Forest Baptist Health (WFBH), Mission Hospitals (MH), Moses Cone Health (MC), Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), and other various institutions. Residents will be able to remotely attend and participate in class on site from BayCare Health System.
