Healthcare quality and safety is at the forefront globally. Organisations all over the world are committing resources and practices to reduce the risk of hazards and improve patient experience and clinical outcomes. The knowledge and expertise required to implement and manage this domain has become a specialized field. There is a dearth of talent and leadership to drive this change across the healthcare industry.

The two-year degree program will provide advanced insights in the subject of quality and safety, build leadership skills including problem solving and critical thinking, and position the students in leading roles in the hospital quality management program. They will have the confidence to teach junior student and staff, to do complex data analysis, develop new programs and conduct research in identified elective subjects.
