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

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.

What they say about MIHMEP

Joining the MIHMEP program was a pivotal moment in my professional journey, opening doors to opportunities in consulting for the pharmaceutical industry. Prior to this, I had spent four years working in healthcare, but I felt the need for a deeper understanding of the healthcare system and a desire to make a broader impact. Moving to Milan and immersing myself in the program—the expertise of the faculty, the diversity of my peers, and the richness of the curriculum—was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The program is incredibly comprehensive, and it offers countless opportunities for networking and continuous learning.
It had a profound impact on me, both personally and professionally, and given the choice, I would do it all over again. The quality of the program is exceptional, and I’m proud to call myself a MIHMEP alumna.

My MIHMEP journey began after years of clinical practice in Nigeria, where I experienced firsthand the challenges and limitations within healthcare systems. This dissatisfaction sparked my interest in shaping policies that directly influence health outcomes.

MIHMEP has deepened my understanding of the complexities of health systems, revealing the many factors that impact their efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, the program has provided invaluable insights into the business side of healthcare, giving me a more comprehensive perspective on health management.

Beyond academics, MIHMEP has also given me the opportunity to connect with industry experts, form meaningful friendships, and enjoy the vibrant life in a beautiful city.
