Why should I choose the Department of Health Management?

The importance of clinically focused occupational groups such as physicians and nurses in health services cannot be denied. However, the existence of these in sufficient numbers and in the desired quality is not sufficient to solve the health problems of the country. Because a large part of the problems arise from mismanagement, and at this stage, Health Managers are needed, who manage the planning, organization, execution, coordination and control processes of health institutions and organizations and are responsible for the effective and efficient use of resources allocated to health. In this context, Istanbul Gelisim University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Health Management aims to contribute to the training of health managers at different levels needed by health institutions and organizations. Students who successfully complete the Health Management undergraduate program are given the title of "Health Manager".

The curriculum of the Department of Health Management has focused on general culture knowledge, management field knowledge, health management field knowledge and health administrator professional skills since the first semester. In addition to theoretical courses, it is aimed to provide our students with professional experience through compulsory summer internships and field studies. The Health Management department aimed to cooperate with the sector and was accredited by the AHPGS Accreditation Agency, and its training programs were structured accordingly.

Health Management graduates have wide opportunities to work in private and public health institutions. Our graduates can continue their careers as academicians in management units of all fields of medical institutions and organizations, in public and private sector health institutions, in the field of health tourism, in the fields of health services promotion, marketing, corporate communication, and with the Master's programs within our university.

Activities are actively organized by Istanbul Gelisim University Health Managers Club, thus bringing students and Health Managers working in the sector together.
