The Public Hospital Management Simulation

In this brand new simulation, NASPAA students will use organizational leadership and public management skills to improve a struggling public facility.

Teams of 4-6 must meet key performance indicators, including public satisfaction, operational excellence, staff development and financial performance as they react to shifting dynamics and sudden policy changes.

This hands-on learning experience puts theory into practice in a fun, educational public service exercise.
