About the Master of International Healthcare Management, Economics and Policy
Rapid changes in healthcare systems require new professionals with a deep understanding of health and healthcare issues and a wide spectrum of skills to promote and manage changes at the organizational and policy level.
MIHMEP intends to train a new cadre of professionals by providing an interdisciplinary and international program specifically focused on healthcare management and policy.
Through an itinerary comprising 9 months of classroom activities and a 3 month field project, participants will develop theoretical and practical skills in management, economic analysis, policy analysis and formulation, and epidemiology.
The program is designed to ensure that participants:
- fully comprehend and learn to lead the important new developments occurring in health-related industries (pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device companies);
- achieve substantial skills and competencies in the management of healthcare organizations;
- gain experience in applying qualitative and quantitative methods to promote and manage change at the organizational and policy level;
- understand the epidemiological factors and the political, economic and social context of healthcare management from an international perspective;

The challenging learning experience is enriched with intensive cultural exchange between participants coming from variety of backgrounds and from different parts of the world.

About the School and University
Founded in 1971 by Università Bocconi, SDA Bocconi School of Management was first a pioneer in Italy and today enjoys international recognition as a leading management school. Its mission is to educate men and women ready to act anywhere in the world, using their knowledge and imagination.
SDA Bocconi dedicates energy and resources to creating value and spreading values. Proof of this are its research, teaching and relations with the scientific, business and institutional communities. It is exemplified by its exchanges, international approach, critical spirit, pragmatism, curiosity and innovative strength. Knowledge and imagination are the shared pride and heritage of the faculty, its students, and thousands of alumni around the world.
In 1998, SDA Bocconi was the first institution in Italy to obtain EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System) accreditation. SDA Bocconi operates on all the strategic fronts of education: executive courses, tailor-made courses, specialist master degrees and MBA programmes.
Knowledge and Imagination
SDA Bocconi School of Management is designed to optimize resources following the canons that drive successful businesses everywhere. In designing new offerings we encourage the fast, flexible and creative interaction of these canons by unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit of our faculty. The knowledge they impart and the imagination they bring to their efforts in turn enables individuals and organizations to improve their management culture, to more efficiently oversee resources, and to inspire the full potential of each employee. Our education involves both the exploration of theoretical models and the day-to-day reality of running a successful enterprise, and we instil in our students skills, knowledge and tools they can use every day when facing the challenges of an evolving marketplace.
Five Divisions are responsible for the various market areas. They work with the Departments to update open enrollment programs and to develop new products according to demand. Since companies often require multidisciplinary courses drawing from more than one Department, Project Groups follow the evolution of demand for education on particular issues.
This flexible system of widespread entrepreneurship means that the SDA Bocconi School of Management can respond quickly with custom executive programs that complement an already extensive portfolio of educational products. Companies, institutions and individuals who come to us find we are passionately committed to inspiring the professional and personal growth of each and every student.
Latest Rankings
SDA Bocconi is Italy's number one School of Management and now, according to the Financial Times' Global MBA Rankings 2011, the only Italian School in the European top 10 and the world's top 30. SDA Bocconi is also the only Italian School on the top of the charts of all main International Rankings. SDA Bocconi is first in the world in the Bloomberg Businessweek Ranking for Full-Time MBA Return On Investment, 7th in the Financial Times’ Best European Business Rankings, and 18th in the world, US excluded, in the general Bloomberg Businessweek Ranking. In addition, SDA Bocconi reached 6th position in Europe in the QS Top MBA Ranking based on the assessments of Recruiters.
A further testimony of the quality of the programs offered by SDA Bocconi is the accreditation by the AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), announced on 5 December 2011 by the Board of Directors of AACSB International. This accreditation, in addition to the previously awarded EQUIS and AMBA, marks the completion of the top three accreditations - the "triple crown" - offered to the top international business schools by the most important international institutions, and places the School among just 55 Business Schools worldwide to have received the AACSB accreditation.
