Hi guys,

I am looking for information about MBA in healthcare management. Is there anyone who as done it, doing it or knows anyone. I am trying to gain as much information as possible.

Kind regards
Parag.

Hi parag, Are you referring to a particular program? If so which one, if not, where do you plan to go, US, UK?

Thanks for your interest

I have come across a few MBA courses which are focussed on hospital and healthcare management. Each one seems to be different hence the confusion. I want to do a distant learning course. I am still unsure whether to choose european or US university

Dear everyone,

No reply yet !!! Please......

Hi Parag,
Looks to me like Boston University and George Washington programs stand out in the US in that field. And both have distance learning options. Europe, particularly Germany, also has some programes with that emphasis, too.

I had recently contacted the Association of MBA in London. They said that there is no accridated MBA programme in MBA healthcare management. All they have is MBA with a specialist module in the above. Does anyone have more information on this.

these are the courses of MBA health care managment from one of the US universities.

I have these documents (study guide,audio,video) :

- Health Care Policy
- Issues in Health Care Management
- Health Care Marketing
- Health Care Finance
- Managing Change
- Information Management in Health Care
- Managerial Leadership
- Strategies in a Global Environment

Responding to "parag" above, it could be that there is no special category in AMBA for health care MBAs, yet. Perhaps too specific. Did they give any advice about the best programs, though?

This is spam. And not even particularly good spam at that. Someone cancel this joker's account.

Hey hi ..

I tooo am interested in doing my mba in healthcare management..kindly help me..it'l be gr8 if you could send the information on the above topics u have mentioned..

Hi Advi,

Here's a couple I came up with. Maybe they'll have something you're interested in. I can't quite remember whether you specified what country you'd rather be in, so it's a bit international. Narrow it down a bit for me and I can be a bit more precise.

OH that was WOWWW!!!Thanks a ton...that helped loads..il take some time to read all of that and I'l come back with more questions I have..have a good day :)

@ lukeh...
My decision on which country depends on the fee...My budget would be within 10L INR. that sa pprox 20000$(US)..Also my interest would be to study in UK /Singapore.Also since this would be an investment from our end,I would like to choose a university with good placement records as well!!

And yeaah...1 more concern...Is it necessary to have professional experience in the healthcare industry to be eligible for the course??If yes what kind of internships should I go for?? I reside in INDIA ..

lokeh...pls do also suggest a few books which i can find on the net..for finding all about the healthcare industry...and yes I will watch it..the trailor looks gr8...
