2025 Army-Baylor Annual Report
This past year has been a remarkable period of growth and achievement for our program. We’ve significantly enhanced faculty research efforts, including new initiatives that directly involve students, most notably through the launch of two electives designed to foster real-world application and academic exploration. These efforts have led to multiple in-person presentations at prestigious national conferences such as the American College of Healthcare Executives Annual Congress, the Association of University Programs in Health Administration Annual Meeting and even on an international stage in Thailand at the International Conference of Information Systems. These presentations are testaments to the thought leadership emerging from our faculty and students alike.
We also introduced the SICEM coaching program, a structured and strategic development opportunity that empowers students through individualized mentorship and leadership refinement. In addition, we proudly established a new advisory board, comprised of distinguished healthcare executives, leaders from across the military services, alumni and industry stakeholders. This board will play a key role in shaping the future direction of the program, ensuring our continued alignment with the evolving demands of the healthcare field. Together, these recognitions and achievements humble us and remind us that our success is built on a strong foundation of teamwork, service and shared commitment to excellence.
I want to take a moment to personally thank you for your unwavering support of the program. We’ve been able to achieve so much, but none of it would be possible without your commitment and partnership. It has truly been an honor to lead such an incredible organization, working alongside passionate, driven faculty and students who are inspired and eager to create meaningful change in our healthcare systems. I have no doubt the program is in excellent hands and will continue to grow, shaping the future of healthcare leadership for years to come.
Godspeed,
Col. Dan M. Wood
29th Program Director of the Army-Baylor Program
