Healthcare Education
The MHA Society for Healthcare Education promotes educational
activities in hospitals or similar institutions by providing a medium
for the interchange and dissemination of ideas relative to health care
and professional growth. The Society promotes educational programs and
also provides a platform from which health care educators may speak,
identifying and defining issues that affect health care.
Individuals eligible for membership in the society shall be
individuals with responsibility for healthcare education within a
hospital or similar institution that holds active institutional
membership in the Association.
The membership fee is $60 per year, per person and entitles the
individual to receive:
- subscription to the Society's newsletter,
- subscription to NewsWeekly, Mississippi Hospital Association
Annual Report, Mississippi Hospitals (a quarterly magazine),
- pertinent subject bulletins of the society
- directory of Society members,
- registration at educational programs with "member" tuition status
and
- and advocacy and participation in the political process which
directly affects the health care industry.
A very important part of the Annual Business Session for the Society
of Healthcare Education is the presentation of the Distinguished
Service Award. This award is given each year to a member who has
made outstanding contributions to health care through his/her work in
hospital education. This award recipient is selected from nominations by
the membership. The Society has many deserving, outstanding members and
this is an excellent opportunity to honor one of our own. Please give
careful thought to nominating a colleague.
Should you have any questions or concerns about membership, please
