Message From The Dean
Dr. Emily Letran – DDS, MS, CHPC
Welcome to the Doctorate of Healthcare Business Program (DHB). I am proud to introduce the first program in the world that closes the gap between clinical training and real-life business acumen for doctors, empowering us to be successful CEOs and community leaders.
As healthcare professionals, we all go through rigorous training, achieving clinical competency over years of professional education. It is not possible, however, to fit business training into an already demanding clinical curriculum. Recognizing the gap, we are offering this program to help doctors rise to their next level of business excellence.
Our program is taught by clinical professionals who also own and run successful businesses. These doctors come from all over the world and have backgrounds in research, publishing, innovation, team building, sales psychology, business scaling, and marketing. This unique team will be augmented by outstanding global industry leaders as guest lecturers, who will share cutting-edge knowledge in their respective fields.
The program has three tracks with three separate focuses
Financial Track
Business Administration
Research Track
As I look at the decade ahead, I envision three extraordinary accomplishments for this program
- We will transform the healthcare profession by raising the level of excellence in financial literacy, business management, and innovation
- We will reach beyond the walls of our practices to develop meaningful partnerships with our colleagues in various fields with the understanding that our success comes from collaboration.
- We will set the new standard for business training in healthcare education so our doctors can enjoy happy, fulfilled lives while creating their professional legacies.
Yours truly,
Dr. Emily Letran

Message from the Associate Dean
A Doctorate of Healthcare Business as an Essential Aspect of Professional Development
Congratulations on being a healthcare professional!
We believe that traditional healthcare education programs do not provide the essential business skills healthcare professionals need in order to be successful in their careers.
In addition to your clinical training, a Doctorate of Healthcare Business will give you an integrative perspective. It changes the way you see business and make decisions, generates relationships with your partners, improves your knowledge and skills, and certifies your superior aptitude when you graduate from the program.
You will approach the problems of your organization, whether in the public or private sector, with better systems, tools, and strategies. Through the program you will gain a solid foundation for academia, a passion for knowledge and innovation, and a spirit for entrepreneurship.
You may wonder, “Why would I invest two more years of study if I am already a healthcare professional?” You already know that continuing education is an integral part of professional growth. Oftentimes, we focus on the clinical aspect of our development. The Doctorate of Healthcare Business provides high levels of leadership and interpersonal skills, complemented by specific knowledge in technology, management, finance and marketing. This training will generate an absolute return on your capital investment and grow yourself and your business permanently.
Through our online courses, the Doctorate of Healthcare Business program teaches you how to lead the management process in health organizations and how to make the best decisions based on business data and analysis.
It also prepares you for opportunities and flexibility in your professional life:
