The programme, to commence from January 1, 2016, will also enable them to move into leadership positions in the near future and drive the growth of the sector. It has been been designed and developed by the Max Institute of Healthcare Management and the Centre for Executive Education at the ISB which has campuses in Hyderabad and Mohali.
Announcing the Programme, Ajit Rangnekar, Dean, ISB, said, “The healthcare sector in India has reacted to numerous challenges in the sector with some very positive responses, including new delivery models, innovative business practices and investments in niche areas. Consistent with our vision of grooming future leaders for India and the world, ISB’s Healthcare Management Programme will address this need by creating future leaders and visionaries in the healthcare sector.”
The HMP has been designed in close collaboration with the healthcare sector, practicing professionals and academia.
