Join us for an inside look at one of the most dynamic new focus areas in the Gies iMBA: Healthcare Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship (HIDE). Developed through a cutting-edge collaboration between Gies College of Business and Carle Illinois College of Medicine—with support from Mayo Clinic and Siebel Center for Design—this focus area is built for professionals ready to lead change in healthcare.
In this session, Gies faculty, Ravi Mehta and Ujjal Mukherjee, will break down each of the three credit-bearing courses—Identify, Innovate, and Implement—explaining how each builds critical skills in product development, data analytics, design thinking, and entrepreneurship. You’ll learn how asynchronous MOOCs support foundational knowledge, while high-engagement live sessions deepen your learning and real-world application.
We’ll also cover how this focus area integrates into your degree path, and what to expect from this experience-rich, forward-thinking curriculum. This coursework would be great for professionals in healthcare, biotech, or health-tech or anyone curious about how business skills can drive healthcare transformation.
Bring your questions and get ready to explore how you can help shape the future of healthcare—starting with your next course.
