Hospital Management

Program
۲۲ – ۲۶ August, 2016
The international course on hospital management represents a condensed one-week course of our MBA in Health Care and Hospital Management. It is based on twenty years of experience in training hospital experts in a multi-professional group. It combines special lectures on actual topics of modern hospital management with a visiting program of three big Austrian hospitals in the cities of Graz and Vienna. Case studies and round table discussions should reflect the different views of national and international perspectives.

Please note: The program starts on Monday morning 22 August in Graz and ends on Friday 26 August lunchtime in Vienna, leaving you with the possibility to enjoy our capital city Vienna after the course.
