IIM- Lucknow Admission: The Indian Institute of Management-Lucknow has recently launched an executive programme in healthcare management in collaboration with Apollo Medskills. The programme has been compiled with an increased focus on healthcare amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The programme has been launched aiming to develop a managerial force for the fast-growing health sector in India. Candidates interested in applying for IIM- Lucknow executive programme in healthcare management must note that the last date to apply is until February 21.

Candidates applying for the programme must have scored at least 60% marks in graduation and two years of experience in the healthcare sector or three years of experience in any sector.

Talking about the launched programme, IIM-L authorities said that the need for such a course felt after care delivery became a big challenge due to a serious shortage of qualified medical, nursing, diagnostic and managerial workforce in the healthcare sector apart from ill-equipped infrastructure. Discussions on global health care, emphasis on Indian healthcare scenario, public health perspectives, and health care system administration will be part of the course.

Programme directors Professor S Venkataramanaiah and Professor Madhumita Chakraborty said the uniqueness of this programme is the experiential learning by way of attending immersion programmes and industrial visits to Apollo hospitals. Dr Srinivasa Rao Pulijala, CEO of Apollo MedSkills Limited, said, “This will nurture and shape the careers of hundreds of youth who aspire to take up leadership roles in the healthcare industry.”
