A holistic vision of the complex processes that translate scientific advances into novel standards of care.

 

Content

The participants will follow 5 full-day sessions of lectures and debates (3 online, 2 on-site) on challenges and future transformations of medicine and healthcare systems:

  • Module 1 - Collaboration for innovation
  • Module 2 - Patient-centred clinical research
  • Module 3 - Healthcare Economics & Management
  • Module 4 - Sustainable Development - Universal access to health
