While at BU, he has taught courses at the undergraduate, MBA, Executive MBA, and executive non-degree levels. His courses have been on financial accounting, management accounting, and management control systems in for-profit, nonprofit, and healthcare contexts.

In the late 1990s, Professor Young served a 3-year term as a Gubernatorial-appointed commissioner and chair of the Massachusetts Hospital Payment System Advisory Commission (HospPAC). HospPAC was a 7-member body charged with monitoring access, quality, and fair- market standards as the state shifted to a more market-oriented healthcare system.

He has been the lead faculty member for the past three years in the AAIM (Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine)-Merck Executive Leadership Program for physicians from departments of internal medicine. In 2006, in recognition of his work with AAIM and its member constituencies, he received the Special Recognition Award from the Association of Professors of Medicine, an award presented annually to a non-member who has contributed the most to helping the association meet its mission of providing leadership and direction to academic internal medicine. During the past three years, Professor Young has been a visiting professor at IESE Business School in Barcelona, the Forli campus of the University of Bologna, and the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai. He has lectured and taught extensively throughout Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, and has served as a consultant on management control system design to a wide variety of organizations. In addition to receiving awards for his teaching, Professor Young has earned numerous awards for his research. His article, "Managing Clinical Integration in Integrated Delivery Systems: A Framework for Action," (coauthored with Diana Barrett) received the Edgar C. Hayhow Award from the American College of Healthcare Executives as best article of 1997; his articles "Two-Part Transfer Pricing Improves IDS Financial Control," and "Aligning Physician Financial Incentives in a Mixed Payment Environment" (the latter coauthored with Sheila McCarthy) received the Helen Yerger/L.Vann Seawell Award from the Healthcare Financial Management Association for best articles of 1998 and 2000. Professor Young's book (coauthored with Robert N. Anthony), Management Control in Nonprofit Organizations, is in its seventh edition and has been translated into Japanese and Italian. In 2003, he published three books: Management Accounting for Health Care Organizations; A Manager's Guide to Creative Cost Cutting: 181 Ways to Build the Bottom Line; and Techniques of Management Accounting: An Essential Guide for Managers and Financial Professionals (the latter two have been translated into Chinese).
