New health services honor society joins three Barry University programs
Master of Science in Health Services Administration program hosts inaugural event for Upsilon Phi Delta
Miami Shores, Fla. – Barry University’s Master of Science in Health Services Administration program inducted over 45 students recently into its inaugural chapter of Upsilon Phi Delta, a national honor society for health services administration students and alumni.
The induction ceremony, held Friday, Nov. 16 at Mercy Hospital in Miami, Fla. joined current students and alumni, inducting Barry’s first class into the honor society. While the event was sponsored by the Master of Science in Health Services Administration program, students from several degree programs in three Barry schools were eligible for induction.
“The inauguration of the honor society is a significant step in the evolution of the M.S. in Health Services Administration,” said associate dean Dr. Alan Whiteman. “It speaks to the academic quality of the program, the caliber of current students and alumni and it brings together students from undergraduate health administration, graduate health administration and public health for an interchange of experience and ideas.”
The three degree programs involved in the honor society are the M.S. in Health Services Administration, through Natural and Health Sciences, Adult and Continuing Education’s B.S. in Health Services Administration and the M.S. in Public Health degree through Graduate Medical Sciences. In order to be eligible for induction, current students must have a GPA of at least 3.25, while graduate students must have a GPA of 3.50 or higher.
The reception featured a keynote address from Mercy Hospital CEO John Matuska, who spoke on changing healthcare in the 21st century. Over 100 guests were present at the event, which also brought together the alumni chapter from the Master of Science in Health Services Administration program.
