What Our Participants Say
The educational format was top-notch. The interactive learning activities were far above what my doctorate program at another university offered. There was a good mix of contributing experts discussing topics in each module. The interactions with classmates were beneficial, in that we had multiple levels of education from heterogeneous backgrounds, adding different professional and cultural perspectives on topics.
This program will completely change your vision of what patient care means in this new context. It will clarify the concepts and give you a deeper understanding that is noticeable from the first module. The weekly homework process was successful, and you learn through research while being able to create your own opinion on the topics. I liked being able to share experiences and information with colleagues of different nationalities. The health sector has always been one of the most reluctant to adopt emerging technologies and transform digitally. It has long been a pending issue, but the COVID-19 context has accelerated the process. This program immerses you completely in the situation, and participants who take advantage of the knowledge they acquire will be planning projects for both patients and healthcare professionals and improving the system in which they work.
