He emphasized the program’s mission of empowering underserved communities. Molor-od Oyunkhand, a recent graduate, expressed her gratitude, stating, “The program’s comprehensive curriculum and hands-on opportunities have equipped me with the skills and confidence to excel in healthcare administration.”
