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.
