Structure

The CAS Health Systems Management starts with an introductory online module, followed by three on-site modules of two weeks each. The programme can be completed full-time in six weeks or modularly over two or three years. Starting with Module 4: Health Systems Interventions and Management is recommended but not mandatory.

It is particularly relevant for those who work across disciplines and cultures and want to strengthen their management, communication and collaboration skills.

Participants come from a variety of professional backgrounds and countries. Most are trained health professionals, such as doctors, nurses, midwives and pharmacists, but participants from other disciplines, including business and social sciences, also contribute to the diversity of the class.
