IIM Bangalore invites applications for the Professional Certificate Program in Hospital Management
Hospital management is an important aspect of healthcare that deals with the planning, organization, and coordination of healthcare services. It is a complex field that requires a deep understanding of healthcare policies, patient care, and financial management. Realizing the need to bring management education to the healthcare context, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) launched its 12-month online certificate program in Hospital Management through its digital arm, IIMBx, in July 2022.
