Postgraduate degree Clinical Foundations for Hospital Managementr
(pg.fcgh@upt.pt)
We are proud to offer an innovative postgraduate programme that equips participants with skills that have an impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare management and the quality of patient care.
This postgraduate programme was conceived and designed taking into account a gap that currently exists in the national training plan and which causes several problems in the day-to-day running of healthcare organisations in the country: the clinical knowledge that is essential for a simple dialectic between the different players in the process. It is essential that all those involved in the provision of healthcare are able to have a level of communication that allows them to optimise health gains and maximise efficiency.
