Affordable and high-ranking, this Saturday program is designed to be accessible to working professionals.
Students in this program enjoy focused weekend classes in Manhattan with award-winning professors, informed guest lectures, networking opportunities with industry experts and excellent graduate placement rates.
Join us for an information session including a Q&A following with our Program Director and Chair Mohammad Khasawneh. Prospective students who bring resumes and/or transcripts can also receive eligibility reviews.
Founded in basis from ongoing research partnerships that we have enjoyed with a variety of healthcare networks since 2001, our program remains open to graduates from all academic backgrounds. Students’ whose undergraduate bachelor’s degrees were in psychology, chemistry, biology, and other disciplines have proven to perform well in the program over the years as all candidates are carefully screened for attitude and aptitude.
Now is an especially promising time for individuals to enter the field of healthcare systems engineering, a field that has been expanding in recent years and gained wider public notoriety since the report to President Obama: "Report to the President - Better Health Care and Lower Costs: Accelerating Improvement Through Systems Engineering," which was released by PCAST (President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology) in May of 2014. While similar reports have followed since, the report is particularly interesting as it specifically focuses on the role of industrial and systems engineering in healthcare and directly advocates greater use of systems engineering principles - great news for future graduates with interest in improving healthcare!
As more medical programs integrate some measure of health systems science into their curriculum as promoted by the AMA, there is also an increasing number of students exploring this one-year MS health systems program as an option in their gap year. Many are even now calling health systems the “third pillar” of medical education. Several graduates of the program have gone on to pursue clinical medicine, and some have even received additional support from their doctoral program as an added benefit of their MS health systems education.

Mohammad Khasawneh is a Professor in the Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE) at Binghamton University. He received his Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from Clemson University, South Carolina, in August 2003, and his B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan, in 1998 and 2000, respectively.
Khasawneh joined Binghamton University (SUNY) in the Fall of 2003. His research areas of interest are in human factors/ergonomics and modeling of healthcare delivery systems. Before joining the SSIE department, he worked as a graduate teacher of record and research assistant in the Industrial Engineering Department at Clemson University. He also served as manager for the Advanced Technology Systems Laboratory (ATSL) where he was actively involved in various projects funded by the FAA and NASA, with significant focus on improving inspection quality on the hangar floor through the use of advance technology, such as virtual reality and computer-based simulations.
Khasawneh currently serves as Assistant Director for the Watson Institute for Systems Excellence (WISE), an institute for advanced studies at Binghamton University. He also directs research in the Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory (HFEL). In the healthcare delivery systems area, through WISE, he has been actively working on applied health systems research since 2003. Since then, he has been leading or co-leading a wide spectrum of projects with multiple U.S. hospital systems, at their site, that focus on applied research projects that can be broadly classified under (a) workflow and process re-design, (b) productivity assessment and capacity planning, (c) strategic planning and future-state analysis, and (d) digital human modeling for ergonomic assessment. Examples of his research include significant amount of work in optimizing the use of OR suites, outpatient scheduling, pre-admission testing, optimizing the deployment of mobile intensive care units, as well as ergonomic study and evaluation of patient handling activities/procedures, to name a few. These efforts have been supported through partnerships with several U.S. hospitals systems, including United Health Services (Binghamton, NY), Upstate University Hospital (SUNY, Syracuse, NY), Virtua Health (Marlton, NJ), Montefiore Medical Center (Yonkers, NY), the Care Management Organization (Yonkers, NY), and the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN).
Khasawneh's research activities thus far have led to over 25 scholastic publications in various refereed journals (with over 10 more in review), over 75 conference articles that have been presented at national and international conferences, and one patent application and two new invention disclosures. In addition, his sponsored research efforts thus far have resulted in about US$2,153,520 (external sources), US$375,692 (internal sources), and US$39,145,185 in in-kind software grants. His research group currently consists of 8 doctoral students, 5 MS students, and 1 undergraduate student.
Khasawneh is a member of the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) and the American Society for Quality (ASQ) professional societies, as well as Alpha Pi Mu and Alpha Epsilon Lambda honor societies. He is also currently the faculty advisor for the IIE Student Chapter at Binghamton University.
