As part of the event, students were presented with a case study titled “Emergency Department Crisis and Corporate Image Risk” and engaged in group discussions to analyze the case. Faculty members of the department, who served as jury members, observed the students individually during the discussions to assess their competencies in management skills such as planning, organizing, leading, coordinating, and controlling.
After the group work sessions, each team selected a spokesperson to present their proposed solutions to the faculty. The evaluation process took into account several criteria, including participation, collaboration, leadership (based on observational scoring), as well as presentation quality, depth of analysis, and feasibility of the proposed solutions. As a result of the scoring, Group 4 was awarded first place.
At the end of the event, the Head of the Department, Dr. Bumin Çağatay AKSU, stated:
“Our aim in the Management Practices Simulation I event was to enhance our students’ analytical thinking and teamwork skills. In the Management Practices Simulation II event, our students reflected the competencies we targeted in the first event through effective case analysis. It is gratifying to see that our events contribute to both the personal and professional development of our students. In the 2025–2026 academic year, we plan to continue with similar practice-based activities to better prepare our students for the needs of the sector.”
Through the Management Practices Simulation II event, students of the Health Management Department had the opportunity to develop both personal and professional skills, while also gaining insights into future job interviews. The event allowed students to test their theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios and experience fundamental managerial skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership.
