Objectives/
Content |
|
The MIHMEP has been designed
to create new professionals able to satisfy the management
requirements of the healthcare systems of the modern world.
The "healthcare manager" - uncommon even in the
industrialised countries - is a highly specialised professional
figure, able to conjugate management skills witha knowledge
of economics, finance, epidemiology and health policies.
Through an itinerary comprising 9 months of classroom activities
and a three-month internship, participants will develop
theoretical and practical skills in management, economic
analysis, policy analyisis and formulation, and epidemiology.
During the third term, students participate in an internship
within a healthcare organisation in Italy or abroad to develop
practical expertise in applying solutions to management
and policy problems. |

Participants'
Profile |
|
Students are drawn from various
countries around the world covering al the continents. With
an average age of 28, the school selects candidates from
a wide range of academic, cultural and professional backgrounds.This
diversity of approach, culture and experience enriched the
learning process for both individuals and groups. |
| Requirements |
|
Academic requirements:
The MIHMEP Programme is a Master’s Degree, and therefore
all applicants should hold a university degree. The overall
education career from primary school to undergraduate
degree should be of at least 15 years. The School selects
candidates from a wide range of academic, cultural and
professional backgrounds. This diversity of approach,
culture and experience enriches the learning process at
both an individual and group level, and is one of the
many elements that make the MIHMEP Programme truly unique.
Work experience: Work experience may
provide an advantage in the MIHMEP Programme, but it is
not an essential requirement. Therefore, applicants with
no professional experience, but nonetheless have a strong
interest in international healthcare management will certainly
be taken into consideration.
English language: The MIHMEP is taught
entirely in English. Therefore, a good working knowledge
of this language is mandatory. In view of this fact, all
candidates are required to demonstrate proficiency in
English, either by taking the test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL), or any similar internationally recognized
exam, . This requirement does not apply to students whose
native language is English or who have completed a University
programme or have significant work experience in an English-speaking
country. |

staff |
|
The school has a large faculty
drawn from the top institutions across the world in the
fields of healthcare management, economics and policy. |
| Methods |
|
Teaching involves a mixture
of lectures and practical sessions together with group projects
and seminars with an emphasis on discussion and problem
solving. These diverse methods provide students with opportunities
for active and critical participation and strengthen teamwork
and interpersonal skills. In addition to normal teaching
activities, the MIHMEP programme also includes initiatives
co-ordinated by teachers, aimed at enabling participants
to assimilate the content of the courses and apply it to
real cases. |
| Evaluation |
|
Assessment by course work and
examination. The evaluation is based on mid term and final
written papers. At the end of the three-month internship
the candidates are expected to present a final report describing
their working experience during the internship. This report
must be handed in by the end of July. |
