Advancing Global Impact in Healthcare Through Leadership Dcotorate Program

Healthcare leaders seeking to make a global impact can now look toward Troy University to achieve their goals.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Global Leadership with a specialization in Global Healthcare Leadership is designed to equip professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate and influence the complex healthcare systems worldwide.

This innovative program goes beyond traditional Ph. D.s in healthcare administration. By focusing on global leadership principles, it provides students with the tools to plan, leverage resources, implement, manage, and evaluate evidence-based programs in diverse healthcare settings.

TROY’s Global Healthcare Leadership Ph.D. integrates the expertise of the College of Education and the College of Health Sciences. Students enrolled in the healthcare specialization will benefit from interdisciplinary learning. They complete core global leadership courses alongside peers in the organizational leadership track, then pivot to specialized courses led by the School of Nursing.

Dr. Stephanie Lewis, a faculty member with 10 years at TROY and a liaison for this program, says, “It’s everything the Ph.D. in Global Leadership students do course-wise, but instead of organizational leadership courses, students will take core courses from the Doctor of Nursing Practice program.”

This collaboration ensures students are prepared for leadership roles in various fields, including public health policy, nonprofit healthcare, insurance, and administrative roles in healthcare law.

This program is tailored for seasoned leaders working at national and global levels to improve healthcare systems. Graduates will be well-positioned to influence policies, direct agencies, and bridge gaps between healthcare systems and allied fields.

Unlike bedside clinical roles, this program is ideal for professionals in administrative and strategic positions, such as CEOs of hospitals, leaders in government agencies like CMS or NIH, and other non-clinical healthcare fields.

One standout example of the program’s impact comes from a student in the first cohort. Initially working in a local allied healthcare entity, this student will soon graduate and take on a pivotal role as a liaison between a university medical facility and a major hospital system.
