(ArabMedicare.com News) Washington
University School of Medicine's Health Administration Program, in
cooperation with International Healthcare Services, has launched a
unique executive master's program for Saudi Arabian physicians and
health-care executives at King Fahad Medical City and the Saudi
Ministry of Health.
The two-year executive master in health administration program was
created specifically for 18 participants from the Riyadh-based King
Fahad Medical City, a four-hospital system that is one of the
largest medical complexes in Saudi Arabia.
"Health-care systems in the world are all changing, and the
ministry sees the need to train executives in the basic principles
of management, finance and organization to improve health care for
the population the King Fahad Medical City serves," said Daniel
K. Mueller, Ph.D., assistant vice chancellor for international
affairs.
"These executives will be the ones to plan the health-care
future for the Middle East and Saudi Arabia. We want to help them
increase the level of leadership from Saudi-based executives."
The executive master's program took more than a year to develop,
said Stuart B. Boxerman, D.Sc., associate professor and director of
the health administration program. Work is already under way to
offer a similar program to a university in China, Mueller said.
