Business Excellence for Healthcare Professionals

This certificate program is aimed at giving doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals the basic knowledge and skills needed to manage people and programs efficiently and within the bounds of government regulations.

Emergency Medicine is relatively new in India but is fast growing to be a critical specialty.

Diploma in Hospital Administration
Medvarsity has successfully trained and developed 6000 graduates in the field of Hospital Administration.
This one year course which involves a 15 day contact session and project work prepares qualified and efficient administrators to manage modern hospitals and deliver better healthcare.
Until recently, doctors without any professional training in management were assigned managerial roles. Besides being a difficult task, doctors barely managed to devote time to their patients. Thanks to the rapid corporatization, a lot of medical graduates are taking up further specialization in hospital administration. Even non-medical professionals are increasingly taking up the mantle of hospital administration. The government too is veering around to the view that public hospitals also need to be run professionally. Hence there is a strong need for a course in Healthcare Management.
It is evident that there is a wide gap between supply and demand for trained healthcare managers / administrators to work for hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, health insurance and third party administrators and other healthcare organizations. There are bright opportunities even in the government sector. The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) looks forward to appoint healthcare administrators. The demand for healthcare professionals is envisaged to increase manifold in the years to come with more and more hospitals expected to increase in semi-urban and rural areas.

Apollo Medical Development Program
Medical profession is one where the ability to deal with people effectively and politely, more than mere occupational skills, can determine the professional success of a doctor. Modern medicine provides today’s doctors with a wealth of study material and ever increasing volumes of medical literature. However, a busy doctor may find it difficult to shift the necessary knowledge from this vast sea of information and may lose sight of the basic practical medicine, which is most important in today’s practice. Therefore, arises a need for a comprehensive ongoing training programme covering common clinical procedures and practices to ensure standardization of patient care. The world today recognizes that patients cannot be the learning grounds for invasive procedures and skill simulation training is becoming the norm of the day in medical education. Hence, the Apollo Medical Development Program introduces soft skills training and skill simulation training at Apollo Hospitals. The first batch has begun at Apollo Delhi in December 2011.
Apollo Medical Development program is designed as a six month program that shall cover:
| Soft skills training | 6 modules |
| Knowledge based training | 5 modules of basic and 5 modules of advanced |
