EMBA Health Care Management

New perspectives and tools for healthcare management professionals! Strengthen your leadership skills amidst the transition of healthcare and social welfare sector.

The wellbeing services counties are struggling with a sustainability gap. The aging population requires more care but there is a shortage of personnel and financial resources. While the healthcare and social welfare reform is being implemented, the requirement to balance the budget drives down social and healthcare services. Strategic leadership, supervisor expertise, increased efficiency and productivity are needed. More must be achieved with fewer resources. Financing and production models need to be examined, and collaboration between different sectors needs to be increased. Also, organisational and leadership culture require renewal to improve the attractiveness and retention of the field, and to ensure an adequate skilled workforce to guarantee the functionality of service production now and in the future.

We invite you to join the EMBA Health Care Management programme to improve your managing skills and to discuss these themes with the experts in the field.  The programme deepens and enhances participants´ strategic leadership skills, provides knowledge on modern leadership, and offers new tools for people management while strengthening the ability to consider the economic perspective in operational development. The programme focuses especially on the transition to wellbeing services counties and strengthening leadership skills amidst the changes, as well as delving into the factors and methods for renewing the management culture.

Nurses, head nurses, physicians, chief physicians, managers and experts from both the private and public sectors participate in the same training, laying the groundwork for successful collaboration and providing an opportunity to learn from each other.
