MIHMEP

MIHMEP trains people in making a difference in several areas – industrial and public sectors, international organizations, private foundations and non-governmental organizations involved in global health and development issues, academia, and health organizations – and can substantially contribute to developing and shaping healthcare, thus improving patients’ access to healthcare.

MIHMEP combines management studies and practice with health economics, health policy, and public health, thus being the most comprehensive post-graduate program in healthcare.

MIHMEP is the only Master that mixes the private (business) and public views of healthcare by offering both general overviews and in-depth specializations in different sectors: Global Health & Development; Healthcare Management; Pharmaceutical & Medical Technology.

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.

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.

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.
