The Healthcare Management program is structured to achieve a good balance between management, economics and quantitative classes. Classes consist of lectures, discussions and case studies. Instructors will present to students sound theoretical principles, tools and methodologies, but also practical examples and case studies. Faculty will make an extensive use of case studies as a way to introduce students to a wide range of practical management issues in healthcare organizations. Additional to exams, other elements will be part of the final grading such as class participation, individual assignments and group works.
