title: Graduate health administration field experiences: a university and health service delivery systems partnership.
abstract: The importance of experiential components of education to professional preparation has been evidenced in the curricula of academic institutions in several disciplines. Graduate programs in health administration offer a variety of alternative residency, internship, and other field experiences for students to apply academic theory to practical phenomena. Using a case study approach, this article presents the advantages of field experience options to both students and health care delivery sites. Components of a model of experiential alternatives in a graduate health administration program are described.
