Timothy Holt, a WV native residing in Atlanta, Georgia, received his nursing degree from Auburn University and his nurse practitioner doctorate from the University of Tennessee, but he wanted to continue his education through our Chambers College Healthcare MBA (HMBA) program.
“I read that the HMBA program was a new initiative and I wanted to be part of an initial cohort,” said Holt. “The Chambers College has a reputation of being student-friendly and I was looking for a professional program who treated their students more as peer professionals and embraced adult education versus a traditional student.
"As a healthcare professional, the COVID-19 pandemic was extremely intense and draining, and the HMBA program was very flexible and empathetic towards their students who worked in healthcare.”
Thanks to the HMBA program, Holt is able to take the skills he learned back into the hospital setting.
“I better understand how to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion, how to utilize marketing tools, how to lead in a complicated and ever-changing healthcare environment, and how to innovate within a highly regulated industry,” he said.
After graduation, Holt will continue in his career as a Manager of a Medical Liaison team with bioMerieux, Inc. – a global biotech firm based out of Leon, France and Salt Lake City, UT.
“I will miss the learning opportunity, the interaction with fellow students, the opportunity to learn more from such highly experiences professors, and learning new things about healthcare leadership.”
