Healthcare Management vs Principles of Management: the same course?

No. They share the core of management: leadership, teams, planning, budgets, quality and HR. Healthcare Organization and Management (Health 302) applies it to healthcare and adds healthcare law, ethics, informatics, marketing and evidence-based practice. Principles of Management (Business 101) is general and adds classical management theory, organizational change and structure.

Healthcare Organization and Management: upper division, 3 semester hours in Healthcare Management, Finance, Hospital Administration or Human Services, or as a lower-level course in Nursing (prior to clinical experience). Principles of Management: associate or lower division, 3 semester hours in Business, Finance, Management, Administration, CIS or Marketing. Both are NCCRS only.
