e-IPHMDP Advanced

The public health challenges faced by the developing countries and continents call for positioning qualified and skilled professionals, who can plan, execute and monitor national health programs and public health initiatives in order to improve effectiveness and efficiency of health care delivery system. In this context, "International Public Health Management Development Program" was conceptualized in the year 2016 with an aim to address the huge gap in Public Health Management skills.

Keeping in view the increased demand over a period of time, a six-month online course (consisting of 4-month teaching and 2-month practicum) on 'International Public Health Management Development Program' was developed to upgrade knowledge, skills and competencies of public health professionals, students, implementers, social workers and people from other backgrounds who are working for strengthening public health management globally.

During the course, the participants will be exposed to topics ranging from UHC & SDG, public health management, management and leadership, project and program planning, organizational behavior, Health Management Information system, human resource management, budget and finance management, time/ self/ change management, communication and advocacy, supply chain management, quality management, monitoring and evaluation, recent advances in healthcare and many more.

The teaching will be done through a multi-pronged adult learning pedagogy comprising of video lectures, reading materials and live interactive sessions. Tests will be conducted at the end of each module. Besides this, the participants will be engaged with their peers in the discussion forums, and undertake practicum/assignments and a project work with eminent mentors. In addition, the participants will get an opportunity to develop their e-portfolio which will reflect on the competencies and skills attained during the course.
