[Video: A male begins speaking.]

Male: Our program’s been around for almost 50 years.

[Video: Van drives pass the entrance of Methodist Hospital.]

[Video: Woman wearing a blue and white blouse and blue necklace appears. She is sitting in a room with green walls.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Dr. Ann Johnston, MHA Program Director]

[Video: Man wearing a blue shirt and tie appear, sitting in an office with beige walls.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Dr. Nir Menachemi, Professor and Department Chair]

Nir: We’ve made changes to the curriculum, we’ve recruited faculty members, with the expertise to meet those needs…

[Video: Dean of Fairbanks talks in an office with several people sitting around a table.]

Nir: … and we are now proud to say we’re training our students for all of those things at a world class level.

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Matt Relano, Student: Lean Priniciples]

[Video: Woman, sitting in an office with blonde hair and a pink jacket, begins speaking.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Alicia Schulhof, Course Instructor: Lean Principles]

Alicia: Lean, if I were to describe it, is basically enabling team members, or in this case students, to become problem solvers. It teaches the fundamental techniques for problem solving and it does so in a very systematic form.

[Video: Young man with glasses sits in an office with green walls, wearing a suit and tie, and begins speaking.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Vikram Sidhu, Student: Lean Principles]

Vikram: And it’s basically founded around two different principles: one is continuous improvement and the second is respect for people. And so, that class applied those principles in the field of healthcare.

[Video: Matt is shown speaking again.]

Matt: She taught us the lean principles but she also taught us the leadership way of how to be a lean leader. So I got a lot of value from that class.

[Video: Young female, wearing a gray suit, sitting in an office room and begins speaking.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Alexandra Simonton, Alumna: Strategic Planning]

Alexandra: I really liked our strategy class because we were able to work on a case and...

[Video: Alexandra is shown sitting in a class with students. She smiles at what the others are saying. She is then shown sitting and talking in a group circle with students in the class.]

Alexandra: … it just gives you really good experience for learning how to problem solve and approach a complex situation.

[Video: Nir is shown speaking again.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Dr. Nir Menachemi, Course Instructor: Strategic Planning]

Nir: In many ways, leaders have to position their organizations for harmony given the changing environment that they’re in.

[Video: Nir is shown teaching a class.]

Nir: And so, strategic planning is the process by which a leader of an organization identifies what needs to happen for that organization to continue to be successful.

[Video: While Nir’s class is being shown, a female voice begins speaking in voiceover.]

Woman: I had to take two accounting courses and the second one is a healthcare finance course by Gary Brumitt and I really enjoyed that class.

[Video: The woman speaking is shown and she has short hair, is wearing a suit jacket, and is sitting in front of a window.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Mackenzie Szymanski, Student: Health Care Finance]

Mackenzie: I am terrible at math and it was really difficult. So it was a challenge within itself which was kind of tough but fun.

[Video: Man in a white shirt and tie begins speaking. He is sitting in an office in front of a whiteboard.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Gary Brumitt, Course Instructor: Health Care Finance]

Gary: What I try to do is, I try to demystify finance.

[Video: The outside of the Human Sciences Building on the IUPUI campus is shown and a truck drives by the entrance. Mackenzie begins speaking, and then she is shown again.]

Mackenzie: I liked him a lot because I felt like he knew how to take the concept and apply it to a situation…

[Video: Voiceover of Mackenzie continues as Alexandra is shown walking through an office carrying a folder to someone. She hands the folder to them and they begin talking.]

Mackenzie: … and looking at healthcare from a whole new perspective for me that I haven’t done before.

Gary: Irrespective of where you go in healthcare, having a good set of finance skills work to sustain those organizations’ existence.

[Video: Voiceover of Gary starts as students are shown conversing in a class, a female instructor teaches a class while writing on a whiteboard, and then a female voiceover begins.]

Woman: We have used the human resources course to bring in the whole governance structure for healthcare organizations because really human resources strategy starts with governance…

[Video: A woman wearing glasses, a blue blouse and scarf begins speaking. She is sitting in an office.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Sarah Johnson, Course Instructor: Human Resources Management]

Sara: … and how the organization is governed by a board of trustees.

[Video: A young male wearing glasses, a gray suit, and tie begins speaking. He is sitting behind a desk in a meeting room.]

[Words appear to the right of the IU trident: Kalob Gossett, Student: Human Resources Management]

Kaleb: I really enjoyed that because it gives you some aspects and insights into theories as to why people say and do the things they do.

[Video: Kaleb is shown in a classroom of students as they listen attentively to an instructor while his voiceover from the meeting room continues. He is then shown again speaking in the meeting room.]

Kaleb: Being a part of an industry that is very people-driven and focused, I think that’s essential to at least understanding that to the best of your ability so that it makes your job easier and you can give better quality of care to people as well.

[Video: Ann Johnston appears again in the room with the green walls.]

Ann: I think the most exciting conclusion we’ve come to in the past year is the curriculum needs to be dynamic. And we’re all committed to consistently get harvesting feedback from the practitioners and alumni…

[Video: Students walking through the skywalk tunnel on IUPUI’s campus are shown, as wells as cars passing through campus. An IUPUI pole flag on campus in front of the cityscape is zoomed in on.]

Ann: … and students and faculty to make sure that we’re constantly adjusting the curriculum to meet the future needs.
