Sponsored Programs

Since 2021 there has been a greater focus on healthcare in society. An increase in the average lifespan and a greater number of patients with chronic illnesses has put greater pressure on the healthcare system, with higher demand for services and a shortage of resources. The system has demonstrated a lack of management and planning skills, and it is vital that these be improved, in combination with digitization, AI, personalization, and key medical advances.

These problems affect a very broad market: Health ministries, laboratories, hospital chains, care homes, health centers, pharmaceutical companies, service providers, medical devices, healthcare technologies, healthcare consultancy firms, product suppliers, patient associations, research centers, etc.

All of these factors increase the need for us to adapt fast to technological and digital developments and to improve our management capacities. The Sponsored Programs at the IESE help to improve executive skills, analysis capacities, decision-making, and healthcare management.

"This program was an incredible experience. From the very beginning we were able to work closely with the IESE to offer a program that provided professional expertise to participants and it was a privilege to experience it from the inside. We covered the essential skills that all leaders in the healthcare sector need to master in their day-to-day lives and the professors were fantastic. It has made a dramatic change to my professional development, motivating me to keep growing and applying these valuable leadership tools to my life."
