In addition to delivering core coverage in subjects such as business administration and accounting, the Massey curriculum is uniquely structured around the themes of entrepreneurship, values-based leadership and ethical decision-making, all within a global business context.

The Lean Healthcare certificate program is delivered in the Gordon E. Inman Center, which was completed in 2006. The Center houses the Gordon E. Inman College of Health Sciences & Nursing, including facilities for the School of Nursing, School of Occupational Therapy, and Social Work Department. Some special features of the Gordon E. Inman Center are the state-of-the-art “patient simulators” who breathe, respond to touch and other stimuli, and provide a life-like patient care environment. A unique Peri-Operative Learning Room features a recreated surgical room capable of exposing students to the responsibilities they will encounter in a real-world healthcare environment. A reproduction of hospital “Clean Utility Rooms” also provides nursing students with an opportunity to learn the fiscal connection between the costs of care and direct nursing care. An additional Center feature is the acute care lab (ACL), which contains hospital beds, Meditech terminals and computers that can be used to document an assigned skill after performing it in a lab. This offers students an opportunity to learn skills needed in intensive care units. Belmont healthcare educators have been part of the initial content development team of leading medical simulation centers across the U.S. designed to revolutionize the way simulation is performed in healthcare training.
