4. A Challenging Program to Build a Solid Career

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.

MIHMEP 2022
Pharmaceutical Management and Technology (PMT)

Before pursuing MIHMEP, I worked as a registered nurse in one of Italy’s leading public hospitals with a permanent contract and gained international experience as a clinical nurse and program manager in Thailand and Peru. My focus and passion has always been on improving access to and quality of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health services. While working in hospital settings, I realized that our understanding of healthcare management was limited, driving me to broaden my knowledge in this sector. I sought out the MIHMEP program to strengthen my skills in healthcare management and tackle complex global health challenges. Thanks to the internship experience at WHO during MIHMEP, later on I gained extensive experience working within the United Nations system across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia, supporting over 30 countries in strengthening healthcare systems, improving national policies, and building workforce capacity. In my first post-MIHMEP experience I have been awarded as UNDESA fellow by the Italian government funded programme, where I supported UNFPA’s national strategy to reduce maternal mortality and adolescent pregnancy in Bolivia. In 2019, I was selected as a Junior Professional Officer by the same prestigious programme, which led to several years of work in WHO as a Technical Officer in Ethiopia and Geneva, where I led global initiatives and research in maternal health, including the Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response program. MIHMEP gave me the essential skills in management, policy, and economics and supported me in identify and grow skills in my area of interest to drive impactful changes in healthcare systems and global public health.
