Though the course is open to students from all streams of medicine, preference is given to graduates of MBBS, Dental Surgery, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, BAMS (Ayurvedic), Yoga & Naturopathy and Homeopathy.
As part of the training, students work with hospitals and health care organizations in the country or abroad for a period of four weeks to understand the structure of the organisations, their activities and workflow. Proof of the popularity and necessity of such a course is borne out by the 100 percent placement rate of past batches.
The IHMR branch in Jaipur, Rajasthan offers a two-year post graduate program in Hospital and Health Management. It recently began offering a specialisation in IT in health c are, along with other options of Health, Hospital and Pharmaceutical Management. The programme’s highly selective admission process ensures representation of diverse educational and work backgrounds.
The course, which is also open to graduates from any stream (subject to a management aptitude test), is aimed at developing trained professional managers with requisite skills in planning and operating management techniques; diagnosing and solving management problems; and acquiring consultancy skills. This is with a view to prepare them to manage hospitals and pharmaceutical and health care institutions in developing countries both in the public and the private sectors, to meet the rising demand for quality care.
Currently there are 837 medical, dental, nursing and pharmacology colleges with an annual intake capacity of less than 40,000 annually. Medical education infrastructure in India has grown rapidly over the past 15 years. However, some states like Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu still have a high doctor to population ratio of over 1:20,000. This reflects not just the lack of manpower, but also the uneven and highly skewed distribution of medical personnel in favour of economically developed and urban areas.
In the medium to long term, this translates into a range of auxiliary industries and in turn, millions of new job opportunities. Educational institutions are fast realising the need to cater to these sectoral needs
