The concentration in health care management and policy focuses on the management, financing and economics of the health services sector. Students learn about those factors that significantly influence a health care system, including government regulation and the changing role of health professionals. Students are provided with a variety of tools and perspectives to understand and analyze significant policy and management issues in this complex, socially important industry. Students planning a career in health care management or policy, clinical medicine, nursing or dentistry have found the concentration to be very useful preparation.

Insurance and Risk Management

http://irm.wharton.upenn.edu

The insurance and risk management concentration examines the techniques useful to corporations, organizations and individuals in minimizing the potential financial losses arising from their exposure to risk. These techniques range from traditional insurance products (e.g., property-liability insurance, life-health insurance, pensions and employee benefits) to current advances in corporate and insurer risk management (e.g., risk financing and retention, non-insurance risk transfer, catastrophe derivatives). The concentration also encompasses such topics as risk and insurance regulation, global risk management estate planning, insurer financial management, insurer strategic management and related public policy issues. Students graduating with this concentration have taken positions with investment banks, re-insurers, accounting firms, insurance brokerage firms, consulting firms, insurance companies and corporate risk management departments.
