HEC Paris and Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, part of the Ivy League Cornell University, — both members of Qatar Foundation — have launched the new Executive Certificate in Health Management and Policy aimed at driving systems-level management expertise and accelerating patient outcomes in Qatar and across the region.
The cooperation between both entities demonstrates the commitment to combine their expertise and ensure optimal relevance and learning impact.
The programme has drawn a strong regional response for its dual five-day sessions, with the curriculum split between New York and Doha. Currently, the first session is underway in New York attended by senior, multinational healthcare participants — a mix of both clinicians and non-clinicians. It focuses on the function, components, and indicators of healthcare policy and the basis and principles of health economics and incentives to pay for care delivery. Participants will also gain firsthand experience through visits to major New York healthcare providers.
“The response to this new certificate from very senior healthcare leaders bodes well for subsequent deliveries of the programme and signals strong demand within the health community for the deeper insights that we can offer,” commented Dimitrios Andritsos, Associate Professor of Information Systems and Operations Management at HEC Paris and the director of this programme in Paris.
“We intend our participants to complete this programme in a significantly better position to guide their organisations towards becoming more flexible, innovative and adaptive, with enhanced team leadership capabilities, and a deeper appreciation of the complex forces
that will be shaping our healthcare ecosystems.”
Participants have begun the programme by engaging in discussions on healthcare policy and exploring its utility, components, and indicators. They will move on to cover the basics and principles of health economics as well as the incentives to pay for care delivery and discuss how private operators and government finance healthcare and how to set priorities and forecast expenditures.
