The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) will launch a General Management Programme for Healthcare Executives (GMHE) in June next year.

The programme is to groom clinicians and healthcare professionals to deliver excellence in healthcare management and to enable them to move into leadership positions.

The year-long certificate programme, which will commence in June 2016, has been designed and developed by the Executive Education Programmes (EEP) at IIMB and Apollo Medskills, the skills arm of the Apollo Hospitals Group.

During the one-year period, participants will have the opportunity to interact with the finest minds in the healthcare industry and management thought leaders.

Shyamal Roy, Chairperson, Executive Education, IIMB, said, “Over time, IIMB has developed an expertise in offering long-duration certificate programmes for working professionals. The general management programme it offers, for example, has successfully completed 34 batches so far.”

Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals Group, said, “There is a scarcity of well-trained quality healthcare management professionals in India. I am excited at the enormous potential of this partnership in creating a pool of specialized professionals that will have adequate knowledge and skills to deliver value to clients. Further, as we deal with lives and strive for better care of our patients, the finesse required in related management deserves specialised training.”
