Duke MSQM Student Blog

Over the course of 20 years, I held various leadership roles such as team leader, manager, and service coordinator, giving me deep insight into the health care system.

From stronger analytical thinking, quicker application of new skills, or a broader understanding of how data can be leveraged, the program has transformed how we show up in different areas of our lives, especially the workplace.

Looking back on my time at Duke, I feel proud, but I feel even more grateful…for the people I met, for the ideas I was exposed to, and for the unexpected benefits of the program.

Before entering the program, I was a little hesitant about doing an online program, but Fuqua's MSQM: BA checked a lot of my boxes.

My journey from bedside nurse to the tech industry was made possible by the professors, leaders, and support from the Duke community.

After finishing the program, I can confidently say I am more than a doctor with clinical knowledge and program management skills, I can also leverage my data analytics skills.

My transition from pursuing medicine to health administration is a dynamic and evolving journey.

Over the last two years, not only have I gained highly valuable quantitative skills, but I also developed new communication skills.

MSQM: HA is a truly eye-opening program.
