Health Care
Our International Masters for Health Leadership combines the unique strengths of McGill University (North America’s #1 public university) and its world-leading Faculties of Medicine and Management. It is designed and led by one of the top management thinkers of our time, Professor Henry Mintzberg, with the goal of transforming the way healthcare is managed around the world today and expose key players in health to leading edge practices in management. The IMHL constitutes a complete rethinking of education in the health sector, providing participants with the opportunity, tools and knowledge to conceive and create breakthrough solutions for their organizations. Participants bring to the classroom key issues from their own organizations and communities to work on cooperatively with their colleagues and faculty, which can result in significant change back-home.
Funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Collaborative Research and Training Experience (NSERC-CREATE) Program on Healthcare Operations and Information Management consist of senior researchers from McGill, University of British Columbia, University of Ottawa, Queen’s University, University of Toronto, and Université de Montréal. This unique collaborative PhD Program trains selected students in healthcare operations and information management. Headquartered at McGill’s Desautels Faculty of Management, the NSERC-CREATE Program brings together experts on healthcare processes, operations research, information systems and telecommunications engineering. It is supported by 40+ collaborators from across Canada, each representing one or more stakeholders in the health sector.
The McGill World Platform for Health and Economic Convergence forms an enduring worldwide knowledge-to-action community devoted to addressing the social determinants of health, closing the health equity gap and harnessing the power of business to achieve health and wealth for all. Through conferences and think tanks, leading academics, professionals and policy makers from health, nutrition, finance, urban planning and social work unite to integrate health concerns into business and improve food and nutrition security, economic empowerment and access to health-promoting work environments.
