Experiences

  • The University Master’s Degree in Healthcare Management (MUGS) has helped to reinforce my theoretical knowledge on management, which has made our managerial duties easier to deal with, as well as giving us a theoretical foundation upon which to base our daily practice.

    Thanks to this master’s degree, I have been able to establish a network of professionals from other institutions who have become my friends and colleagues. Together we have created spaces where we can discuss practical cases and examples of day-to-day casuistry.”

    Ana Sedano Martínez
    Master's Degree in Health Management
  • “I’m a specialist in Internal Medicine and I trained at the Bellvitge Hospital. Caregiving has always been my greatest passion. However, due to socio-demographic shifts in society, new technologies and new supply and demand healthcare systems, I decided to complement my training with the Master's Degree in Healthcare Management from UIC Barcelona, which helped me understand and acquire further knowledge about hospital processes, leadership and team management. This programme helped me to access positions such as my current jobs at Tres Torres and at the Duran i Reynals Social Healthcare Hospital.”

    Current coordinator of the department of Internal and Family Medicine at the Mi Tres Torres Clinic

  • In my opinion one of its best points is the fact that people can do work placements in hospitals. In my case, I discovered a method of  management which was different to what I was used to and it was very interesting. I also met professionals from various fields of management who carry out their  daily work completely naturally  and transparently, which is something to be very thankful for.
