Massachusetts-Rhode Island Educational Partnership

Educational Partnership Overview: Healthcare Financial Management Association (“HFMA”) recognizes that many of our future healthcare leaders are currently studying healthcare administration, healthcare finance and analytics at our local colleges and universities. Building relationships between these institutions and HFMA can be mutually beneficial, as colleges and universities can provide their students with access to industry resources, education and networking opportunities, which can enhance students’ experience and career prospects. HFMA, in turn, can leverage these partnerships to engage with the next generation of healthcare leaders. The Massachusetts-Rhode Island Chapter of HFMA established the Educational Partnership in 2023 to strengthen relationships with colleges and universities, who offer concentrations in healthcare finance and administration.

Current Partner: Stonehill College
