Yes, New Zealand offers non-clinical master's programs in healthcare management and public health. These programs focus on leadership, policy, and administrative roles rather than direct patient care.

Examples include:
- Master of Health Sciences (Health Management): Focuses on health management and policy, with both coursework and research components.
- Master of Health Leadership and Management: Combines health and business courses to prepare students for leadership roles in health organizations.
- Master of Public Health: Covers public health principles, epidemiology, and health policy for careers in management, policy, or research.

These programs are suitable if you want to advance in healthcare management or public health without clinical practice.
