The program consists of 3 terms that provide core courses and specialization courses, plus a fourth term, during which you will participate in an internship within a healthcare organization, public institution, or private company in Italy or abroad.

5. Meet the Experts

Experts from healthcare organizations, industry, regulatory authorities, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and consulting companies share their professional experience with MIHMEP students and give them a flavor of what their future work will be. This is also a great opportunity for students to strengthen their network.

6. A top Faculty with solid research and teaching backgrounds

The Faculty is engaged in both research – carried out by the Center for Research on Health and Social Care Management at Università Bocconi – and management training – through the executive and customized programs designed and performed by SDA Bocconi School of Management for healthcare institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and many other organizations. Twelve worldwide experts – in the areas of healthcare management, economics, policy, governance, and global health – make up the Scientific Board, which provides the MIHMEP with scientific guidelines and contributions to its scientific curricula.

Italy is an extraordinary laboratory of health policy and management. The Italian Healthcare system has been ranked 2nd by the World Healthcare Organization in its famous 2000 worldwide appraisal of health systems, and the 4th most efficient by Bloomberg 2018. Italy has the longest tradition of public health, the oldest medical schools in the world and is at the forefront in many fields such as the approach to mental health, the first unmanned robotic surgery (in 2006) and many cutting-edge and pivotal new medical technologies.

What they say about MIHMEP

After graduating from the University of Toronto, I was fortunate enough to secure a position at the Toronto Lung Transplant Program, the largest lung transplant center in the world. Comprised of 11 physician investigators, over 70 medical research fellows, students and staff, I was responsible for the collection of both donor and native clinical research transplant samples throughout all phases of the procedure. While in this role I contributed to a rich medical research environment including an array of cutting-edge research from microbial studies, large animal experiments, clinical trials and the development of novel technologies such as Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion. These experiences piqued my interest in the actualization of research from bench-work to market. This is when I began to consider a career shift and explored my options. This brought me to MIHMEP where I plan to specialize in Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology in order to move onto a career working with the commercialization of medical research.

Moving to Milan to study MIHMEP in SDA Bocconi has proven to be the most significant decision that I have made so far in my career.
I qualified as a pharmacist in Ireland in 2018, but as I worked on the frontlines throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I believed that I could make a bigger impact. That is when I made the decision to go to business school. As I scoured journals and articles on the internet, and discussed my options with former professors, MIHMEP was the one Master’s program that really stood out for me on account of its global and broad prospective on the healthcare industry (Pharma & Med Tech, Healthcare Management, and Global Health & Development). I immediately understood SDA Bocconi’s remarkable European and world B-School rankings once I arrived. We were immersed in incredibly interesting and current material, receiving lectures from, and interacting with academics and experts who are at the very top of their field. I gained invaluable insights and perspectives on aspects of the healthcare industry that I had never previously considered or acknowledged during my clinical career.The program also enabled me to travel to different countries for internships and full-time employment. But most importantly, I now have a global network of alumni, peers, and friends from every corner of the globe. MIHMEP truly has opened countless opportunities for me, both personally and professionally. If you are passionate about life sciences, healthcare, and the business behind them, making the decision to study MIHMEP will not be something that you will regret. I am proud of the SDA Bocconi stamp on my CV, and I’m proud to be a MIHMEPian!
