The NYMC Student Chapter of the American College of Healthcare
Executives
was established
in the Spring of 1999 through the efforts of Deborah Viola, the
founding officers, and the School of Public Health. The
chapter membership boasts students from a wide variety of
disciplines. Students in good standing from any school
within NYMC are invited to join the
chapter once they have submitted their application for
membership to ACHE. There are three membership categories: Full,
Ex-Officio, and Honorary. Full membership requires a Student
Associate membership in ACHE, Ex-Officio is offered to all those
former members that have completed their studies but wish to
remain involved in the chapter, and Honorary is offered to those
individuals not enrolled as students in NYMC but that have a deep
professional interest and/or have made contributions to the
chapter. The chapter was formed with the purpose of providing a
network for students in healthcare administration to meet,
exchange ideas, and advance the goals of the
American
College of Healthcare
Executives on a local level. These goals include staying current
on healthcare management issues, expanding healthcare management
knowledge, and helping to shape the current and future environment
of healthcare management. The chapter holds 4-5 meetings per
academic year. These meetings, which are open to the entire NYMC
community, are combined with lectures given by invited guests,
usually ACHE members. Watch for meeting and event postings in the
Learning
Center,
Basic
Sciences
Building, via e-mail,
and on this page.
