Where Future Healthcare Leaders Find Their Path
"My time at NYU Wagner was pivotal in shaping my career path. The program's rigorous curriculum and hands-on experiences gave me the analytical tools and strategic insights to make a meaningful impact in American healthcare. The diversity of perspectives within the Wagner community helped me think critically and enabled me to work on practical problems both during, and after, my Wagner career. I would not be where I am in my career if I had not attended NYU Wagner."
Sean Pomory, MPA-HPAM '24
“My Wagner education has helped me implement my learnings into my full-time job at NYU Langone. It has allowed me to look at, understand, and challenge workflows that could improve access, quality and cost of care. I have been able to become a better critical thinker, decision maker, and problem solver, which are all skills needed to advance to the next level in my career."
