April Calkins, MHA ’22

“With the Suffolk MHA degree, I would say my confidence level has significantly increased at work and in my conversations with physicians and others on so many different levels. It’s given me the kind of preparation that makes me say, ‘I can do this.’ "So much of what I learned with the MHA was applicable to real life. Often in class I would say, ‘Oh my gosh, this relates to what I’m doing at work!’"

“I had some pretty interesting, life-changing situations that could have deterred me from completing my master’s. "But my professors were instrumental in supporting me and pushing me to continue to figure out a way to keep going. My MHA degree I hold very near and dear to me.”

“I was very clinical-based in undergrad, so learning a lot of the project management skills in the MHA program was really helpful. And I think it's also really valuable that we worked with professors who are in the field and have done some really interesting things.”

“The most important skills you need in healthcare administration are decision making and problem solving because it’s a really practical kind of job. I think Suffolk’s MHA program really prepped us by providing a whole exposure to all kinds of subjects, like healthcare law, patient safety, quality improvement, and operations. It’s stuff you can use daily in your job.”
