Pam Dzikowski, vice president and corporate controller at Baptist Health, is no stranger to leadership, responsibility, and lifelong learning. Overseeing financial accounting, payroll, accounts payable, and all operational processes that impact financial reporting, she holds a pivotal role within one of the region鈥檚 most trusted healthcare providers.

Now, as a current Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) student at Jacksonville University鈥檚 Davis College of Business and Technology, Dzikowski is expanding her influence beyond her day-to-day operations鈥攁dding academic depth and analytical rigor to her leadership style.

Pursuing a doctorate wasn鈥檛 about accolades or increased earnings for Dzikowski 鈥攊t was a personal milestone. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always been a bucket list thing for me,鈥� she shared. 鈥淚 thought it would be a great next step and something fulfilling to do into retirement. It鈥檚 not about the money, it鈥檚 about continuing to grow and challenge myself.鈥�

Her decision to choose the Davis College of Business and Technology at JU was grounded in both practical and academic considerations. 鈥淭he proximity was a factor, and the fact that it鈥檚 AACSB accredited made it a clear choice,鈥� Dzikowski noted. 鈥淚 was never going to go to a fly-by-night school. The small class sizes and the quality of the instructors at JU have really made a difference. They鈥檙e approachable, they care about your success, and they take the time to know you.鈥�

 Dzikowski 鈥榮 DBA journey has not only expanded her academic horizons but has also reshaped how she leads at Baptist Health. 鈥淚 look at things from a completely different perspective now.鈥�

鈥淭hrough research and regression analysis, you begin to see every action as a variable that impacts another,鈥� she explained. 鈥淔or example, I think about how patient experiences or technology might influence patient outcomes, and eventually hospital reimbursement and the healthcare industry as a whole. That shift in thinking鈥攕eeing the independent and dependent variables in everything鈥攈as been eye-opening.鈥�

She also credits her coursework in business theory with enhancing her strategic approach and self-awareness. 鈥淚t鈥檚 helped me think more strategically and see things through a broader lens. Whether it鈥檚 approaching people or evaluating operational impact, I鈥檓 much more thoughtful now.鈥�

While she continues to lead with excellence at Baptist Health, Dzikowski has her eye on what鈥檚 next. 鈥淚 have a lot of projects and irons in the fire right now,鈥� she said, 鈥渂ut years  from now when the time comes to retire, I鈥檒l likely go into teaching. I really enjoy it. Sharing knowledge and watching that light bulb go off when someone gets it鈥攖hat鈥檚 the best part.鈥�

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Pam earned both her undergraduate and master鈥檚 degrees from the University of North Florida. She鈥檚 a licensed CPA in the state of Georgia. Her connection to 91香蕉视频 goes back to her middle school cross country days, when she used to run through campus and back to her cheer camps days when she stayed I the dorms on campus.  鈥淛U has become a part of my life in a way I didn鈥檛 expect back then,鈥� she reflected.

That connection has come full circle鈥攂oth of her children are now JU alumni. Her oldest son, Bradley Parker, graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2023, and her younger son, Christian Parker, with a degree in accounting, also in 2023. Bradley has also recently started JU鈥檚 Doctor of Nursing Practice program.

鈥淓ducation is highly regarded in my family,鈥� she shared. 鈥淓veryone has a college degree, and my siblings have at least two college degrees. I鈥檝e always been driven, but this degree is also about being able to give back鈥攖o teach, to inspire, and to continue learning.鈥�

Dzikowski exemplifies how professional excellence and academic ambition can go hand in hand. Her journey through the DBA program at JU is not just a personal achievement, it鈥檚 an investment in the future of leadership, education, and community impact.
