With degrees in pharmacy from Shenandoah University and St. John’s University as well as a master’s degree in systematic theology from the Immaculate Conception Seminary at Seton Hall University in New Jersey, consultant pharmacist Dr. Joseph Chebli is a managing member and the executive director for JC Rx Consulting in Belle Mead, New Jersey. In addition to his consulting work, Joseph Chebli, PharmD, teaches a course called The Moral and Spiritual Dimension of Health Care at Felician College in Lodi, New Jersey.

The course is a component of Felician College’s healthcare administration and nursing degree. Healthcare administrators do not generally work directly with patients but rather shape the policies and systems that affect those patients on a day-to-day basis. These are the professionals who will need to be able to make effective, ethical decisions about how healthcare systems run.

Felician College’s program in healthcare administration includes a range of courses in healthcare as well as core business courses that will provide students with the ability to think critically, communicate effectively, stay accountable to their decisions, and make those decisions as ethically as possible. The program is centered on the case study approach, which gives students a chance to look at real-world situations both in teams and on their own.

The healthcare industry is growing, especially in New Jersey, and completing a degree in healthcare administration may open up a range of possible career options, including health information technology, biotechnology, consulting, and government positions.
