About the certification program
Given that the need for economic knowledge for those involved in the health care system is increasing, Management Circle AG launched a health economist certification program for the first time in June 2009. The course consists of two compulsory seminars and one elective seminar, which can be completed within a period of 24 months Each course ends with a written test. Leading experts from science and business were recruited as speakers, including Prof. Dr. Bernd Brüggenjürgen from the Steinbeis University Berlin, Prof. Wolfgang Greiner from the University of Bielefeld, Prof. Dr. J.-Matthias Graf from the University of Hanover as well as representatives from the Charité University Medicine Berlin, Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH and the Association of Research-Based Drug Manufacturers (vfa).
The course provides a basic overview of the background and context of health economics. The basic seminar offers a well-founded introduction to basic principles and concepts. Another seminar module provides information about health economic evaluation procedures. In the third part of the seminar, the focus is either on health economics for the pharmaceutical industry or for the area of medical technology and hospitals.
