“MIHMEP is a 360 degree experience that prepares participants to become effective leaders, managers, policy-makers, economists, and change agents. We cover the healthcare sector and organisations of developed countries, the global health context of developing countries, and the pharmaceutical, medical device, and all other types of industries related to health and wellbeing. MIHMEP is something unique.”
MIHMEP is not for everyone, it is for those who want to challenge their careers and acquire an international and business perspective of healthcare. As a medical doctor specialized in healthcare quality improvement, I had been for working many years in my country within private and public hospitals, but I was still looking for a new perspective for my personal and professional development. I did some research among different business schools and programs in Europe, and I found MIHMEP. Although all through my previous studies I also heard and learned from great lecturers, studying at SDA BOCCONI was a multicultural experience and I thoroughly enjoyed learning from my classmates, who are now good friends. It was challenging leaving all what I built back in Mexico, but I don’t regret the decision.
My passion for healthcare began during my experience managing the daily operations of a private practice serving a largely non-English speaking and dual-eligible patient population. The complexities involved in coordinating care for these vulnerable patients, along with the challenges facing physicians and patients with the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act sparked my interest in healthcare delivery. This curiosity motivated me to further my career by enrolling in MIHMEP at the SDA Bocconi School of Management; which has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of both my personal and professional life. The structure of MIHMEP allowed me to gain complete insight into all sectors of the healthcare industry, broadening my horizons, while providing me with the opportunity to specialize in one particular field during the third term; I chose Healthcare Management.
My section’s international student body, representing over 15 different countries, led to thought-provoking debates and discussions around devising creative solutions to current healthcare challenges at both a local and global level. Working with my colleagues, each with their own diverse perspectives and experience, on case-based projects helped me to further develop the soft skills I needed to excel as a leader in the healthcare industry and successfully manage multidisciplinary teams.
MIHMEP also provided the opportunity to attend seminars given by industry leaders from top hospitals, think tanks, and global health organizations worldwide. These experiences made me aware of the vast number of current healthcare challenges and ways I could make an impact. These opportunities paired with an effective blend of core courses, case-based learning, and quantitative reasoning makes MIHMEP unique to other Healthcare Masters programs.
I am now based in Boston, Massachusetts working in Ambulatory Operations at Tufts Medical Center, with a focus in process improvement and project management.
