"Health Economics and Governance of Health System" at Jagiellonian University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Institute of Public Health, Krakow, Poland Teaching language: English Learning outcomes: Effective management and governance of health care is a condition of better functioning of health care system, contributes to the improvement in health status of the population and higher level of patient satisfaction. Health care is a more complex and more demanding sector than other economical sectors. Practical management is carried out by specialists representing different disciplines on one hand medical Professional and on the other hand economists. It does not help in meeting the specific demands of the system. That is why only interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral collaboration can result in effective solutions and rendering of health targets. Seeking the compromise between economical and health goals we propose the hereby specialization for the students who have managerial ambitions and negotiation and coordination competences. Teaching staff: Teaching staff in specialization “Health economics” consist of professors, associate professors and doctors. They are specialists in their field with large experience. Most of the teaching staff have spent part of their education abroad (London School of Economics and Political Science, Medical School of University of Texas). Besides their teaching and research work they are members of boards in institutions and organizations on national and international levels (CASE, International Diabetes Federation Task Force on Diabetes Health Economics, World Health Organization, United Nations). Also many of them work as an advisory body and consultants (i.a. for the President of Poland).
