Testimonials

"I, Dr Aseemita Debata, am into clinical practice and have been attached to different corporate hospitals. I always thought about healthcare from a clinician prospect and never knew the challenges of different levels in the same industry or never realised the inter link between different industries. So, somewhere I was keen to learn healthcare as a growing and expanding global industry along with its unique challenges beyond the clinical mind. Wanted to learn the various modalities like finance, marketing, supply chain, organisational structure and culture and most important objective was to learn how to think like a Healthcare Leader . This course has made me an enthusiastic learner and I am planning to start my own chain of ART set up. Thats yet to come but this course has given me the courage and confidence for it. I would definitely recommend others to do this course if they are willing to learn and think out of box as I feel management is a way of thinking and behaviour and it should be learnt by all especially clinicians who do not have any orientation of any business as to how to start or run it. We have to at least be literate about all aspects of the industry we are in."

Upon completion, I noticed a significant shift in my approach and thinking, enabling me to tackle challenges with renewed confidence and creativity. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to elevate their career in healthcare management or entrepreneurship. The insights and knowledge gained will undoubtedly empower you to make a meaningful impact in the industry."
