This
course, offered by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine,

their knowledge and skills in the management of health services. The course is
completed in one year part-time and is offered by off-campus distributed
learning (distance education) with some compulsory block requirements each
semester. The course is not offered on a full-time basis. The degree provides
core competencies in health services management, including leadership, human
resource and financial management of health services and articulates with the
