BACKGROUND
As part of the Ethiopian Hospital Management Initiative(EHMI) program, the Master in Hospital and Healthcare Administration(MHA) program was first launched in Ethiopian in 2008 at Jimma University by Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in collaboration with Clinton Health Access Initiative(CHAI) and Yale Global Health Leadership Institute (Yale GHLI). In 2010 Yale GHLI, with t

he support of FMOH, has expanded the program to Addis Ababa University and in 2014 to Mekelle University and University of Gondar. AS of October 2015, the MHA program has graduated 123 students and 72 other students are on truck to graduate in 2016. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (UNIQUE STRUCTURE)
The MHA is a two-years executive style educational program. The program integrates classroom learning, online resource sharing and on-site executive experience (also called hospital attachment). Students spend 25% of their time in class and 75% of their time in implementing quality improvement activities at their place of employment. The curriculum includes courses in scientific problem solving, hospital operations, healthcare financial management and accounting, health economics, human resource management, strategic management, leadership and governance, and health ethics. PROGRAM GOAL
The MHA program was established to strengthen overall leadership capacity of hospital and other healthcare managers and equip them with skills to effectively address management and quality challenges with heath care facility and the broader health system in Ethiopia. OUTCOMES
The MHA program cultivates health facility leadership and strategic problem solving skills to improve the quality of Ethiopian hospitals. In 2014, the FMOH conducted an assessment showing that, including but not limited to, hospitals with an MHA graduate serving CEO are more effective in monitoring and adhering to the national hospital reform guidelines. Through this experiential education approach, students become skilled hospital administrators immediately improving the hospitals they run, transferring skills they learn to their staff, and strengthening the function of the health system.
