class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-narrow\">Program Objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The objective of the Healthcare Unit Management program is to enhance and expand the knowledge of healthcare professionals in managing healthcare units (clinics, dental offices, pharmacies, hospitals, medical centers, diagnostic labs, microbiological laboratories, etc.) to improve decision-making effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program provides a modern and comprehensive accelerated curriculum, focusing on solving practical challenges in healthcare unit management, optimizing human and financial resources, monitoring financial performance, assessing the sustainability of healthcare units, fostering collaborations between healthcare facilities, and developing negotiation skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Particular emphasis is placed on international developments in the healthcare sector and their impact on the labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many healthcare professionals face organizational and managerial challenges in the administration of healthcare units, which are not covered in their undergraduate education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the key challenges they face include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduced profit margins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Declining revenue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price fluctuations in pharmaceuticals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delayed payments from insurance funds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decreased liquidity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased competition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entry of multinational chains into the Greek market<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demographic changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaboration issues with other businesses, pharmaceutical warehouses, banks, and pharmaceutical companies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Growing supplier debts, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of these issues fall under business administration and are not covered in healthcare academic curricula. In other words, healthcare professionals lack financial and managerial expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this need, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens offers a specialized educational program designed to equip healthcare professionals with the latest advancements, methods, and techniques in business management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#f3f2ee\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Training Cycle Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<!-- educational_cycle_calendar -->\n<div id=\"ecc-block_7d8a2f5bbcb8c0c20a091c7e4533571f\" class=\"educational_calendar \">\n    <ul>\n                <li>\n            <div>27\/1\/2025<\/div>            <p>Application Deadline<\/p>\n        <\/li>\n                <li>\n            <div>30\/2\/2025<\/div>            <p>Program Start Date<\/p>\n        <\/li>\n                <li>\n            <div>4\/2025<\/div>            <p>Certificate Award<\/p>\n        <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n    <p>* During Christmas, Easter, and the month of August, the Executive Program is temporarily suspended.<\/p>        <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n        <div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/application-submission\/\"   title=\"Apply Now\">Apply Now<\/a><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<!-- \/educational_cycle_calendar -->\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-style-default\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-primary-color-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Who Should Attend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-narrow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>The program is intended for healthcare professionals, including doctors, dentists, pharmacists, midwives, nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, radiologists, microbiologists, health visitors, social workers, and administrative personnel of healthcare units who wish to expand their knowledge of healthcare unit management in order to efficiently organize and lead a successful healthcare business (e.g., pharmacy, clinic, hospital, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the program is ideal for graduates of healthcare fields seeking career development opportunities and students of healthcare-related faculties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By completing this program, participants will be able to develop an effective management strategy for the healthcare unit they oversee, ensuring the successful promotion and establishment of their business in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This modern and fast-paced program emphasizes practical problem-solving in healthcare units, teamwork, and leveraging the extensive experience of instructors and participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/for-businesses\/\">Special Programs for Businesses<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Skills You Will Gain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-narrow has-small-font-size\">Through the Healthcare Unit Management Executive Program, participants will gain multiple benefits.
