Loyola University recently announced that it is teaming up with Concord Law School to offer an online Master of Jurisprudence (M.J.) in Health Law program for health care professionals. Here's a blurb from their website:

"If you're contemplating the next step in your professional development, you may want to consider all that the M.J. offers:

* A flexible, individualized program

* A convenient and affordable online health law education that accommodates your needs and goals

* A curriculum that supports and develops keen problem-solving skills, analytical reasoning, advanced communicative abilities, and an increased capacity for independent thinking

* Technical expertise in resolving legal issues in the health care setting

* A practical and marketable way to broaden your career path

The online health law master's program is tailored for people already working in the health care system - not for lawyers. Applicants need to have a bachelors degree and at least three years of experience working in health care. Looks like an interesting program for those who want to veer into an administrative position, but don't necessarily want to earn a law degree. Check out the Loyola website for more details.
