Healthcare Industry has shown a tremendous growth in the past few years and this has created a need for specialised course in healthcare. CREMA—Clinical Research Education andManagement Academy—is offering MBA in Healthcare Management, which is in association with a UGC and NAAC accredited state university. This is a two year MBA in Healthcare Management, full time on campus program. The university is associated with one of the oldest and most reputed medical colleges in the country. The course will begin in January 2010.

The curriculum includes soft skill training program from ISIL and Speak First (UK). CREMA's state of art campuses and highly qualified faculty from industry will help students to get quality education. The students are given 100% placement assistance by its Corporate Interface team, which would help students to take their next step to the corporate world.

Dr SM Sapatnekar, Dean, CREMA, explains, "This specialised MBA in Healthcare Management will surely provide best careers to students and professionals."

Healthcare Management is one of the best careers for graduate or post graduate students from life science/ microbiology/ pharmacy/ biotechnology/ medicine/ nursing/ physiotherapy/ dentistry/ homoeopathy/ ayurvedic/ veterinary science/ paramedics.
The concept of healthcare now is no longer limited to just going to a hospital, as a large number of people today relate it to a complete gamut of quality services linked to a hospital. As a result, healthcare industry has to be well equipped to face the growing expectations of people. This has increased the demand for high quality healthcare professionals in India.

Healthcare is the third largest service sector at $35 billion today in India and expected to reach to $ 75 billion in next five years. Of all the hospital expansions in the near future, the private sector will account for 80% of this spending.

A major challenge for the Indian Healthcare industry would be not only to retain the healthcare workforce but also to develop an environment which would attract those abroad to return. Even if the number of doctors were to increase from 0.6 to 0.8 per1000 population and number of nurses were to increase from 1.5 to two per 1000 population to catch up with best world practices, India immediately needs 2,00,000 doctors and 5,00,000 nurses right away, besides another 2,00,000 healthcare management personnel to manage them.
