Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme
- CN02 - Identify the portfolio of services and the key healthcare processes of each organisation and level of health level.
- CP03 - Interpret the needs and expectations of patients, either real or potential, to evaluate management programmes in the healthcare field.
- CP05 - Apply the techniques for the correct management of people in a real healthcare management situation, respecting fundamental equal rights between men and women, and the promotion of human rights and the values inherent in a peaceful society of democratic values using inclusive, non-discriminatory language without stereotypes.
- HB01 - Apply a multidimensional view to planning (planning, organising and directing) in order to develop the capacity for autonomous and multidisciplinary work with agile decision-making in the field of health management
- HB02 - Analyse the benefits and potential of each element that makes up the various healthcare models (local, national and international, public and private sectors), prioritising decisions that take into account the benefit of well-being and health for the healthcare system.
- HB03 - Suggest solutions for target requirements to achieve a balance between supply and demand in the field of healthcare management.
- HB04 - Use reliable sources of information for appropriate decision-making at all levels of the healthcare organisation, and use these sources to form the basis for innovation and research management in their centre. In doing so, identify ideas that generate new products or services and that can be transferred to society through patents, the creation of new start-ups, spin-offs or companies.
- HB05 - Propose an action plan to ensure coordination between different levels of care in the field of health management.
- HB07 - Relate learned concepts to real situations and apply them properly. Keep informed of the aspects that directly or indirectly influence healthcare organisations (budget management, regulatory applications, environmental health situations, etc.).
Teaching and learning activities
In person
Teaching methodologies
The teaching methodologies planned for the basic, compulsory, and elective subjects are:
• Theoretical Classes (TC): This is a scenario in which the teacher conveys knowledge to the entire group of students in a classroom, intending to activate the cognitive processes in the student. The teacher is the one who presents, and the student primarily takes on the role of a receiver. In these classes, the teacher will utilize various teaching methodologies.
• Case Work (CW): This methodology will be conducted in small groups of students who will deliberate on cases or examples related to healthcare management, both real and simulated, with the participation of the teacher, culminating in a presentation of a common conclusion that allows for knowledge acquisition.
• Discussion and Debate (DD):Students will have documentation and time to review, prepare, or gather information, so that their contributions to the group are maximized. Discussions and activities will take place in small groups within the classroom, employing strategies that encourage student participation. This format may also be conducted during lectures as a complementary activity.
• Tutorials (TUT): A personalized advisory relationship is established, where the teacher attends to, facilitates, and guides one or several students in their educational process.
• Self-Learning Activities (SLA): These activities are designed for the student to solve problems independently, using the materials provided and the information gathered in classroom sessions and/or during the internship period, as well as the supplementary documentation provided, bibliographic references, etc.
• Personal Study (PS): The student will need to dedicate time to personal study, preparation for classes, and preparation of cases to be worked on in the classrooms, etc.
Learnig Activities
The Learnig Activities planned for the basic, compulsory, and elective subjects are:
• Lectures (L): This is a scenario in which the teacher conveys knowledge to the entire group of students in a classroom, intending to activate the cognitive processes in the student. The teacher is the one who presents, and the student primarily takes on the role of a receiver. This methodology will be the most frequent for transmitting general knowledge and ensuring the achievement of most competencies.
•Seminar (S): Students will have documentation and time to review, prepare, or gather information, so that their contributions to the group are maximized.
• Tutorials (TUT): A personalized advisory relationship is established, where the teacher attends to, facilitates, and guides one or several students in their educational process, whether for theoretical training, practical work, or master’s thesis. It helps to identify aspects that require reinforcement or further development.
•Personal Study and Self-Learning Activities (PSA):These activities are designed for the student to analyze, seek information, or solve problems independently, using the materials provided and the information gathered in classroom sessions and/or during the internship period, as well as the supplementary documentation provided, bibliographic references, etc. This takes place in all modules and throughout the entire master’s program, including internships and the master’s thesis. The objective is to deepen
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
To qualify for the theoretical evaluation, the student must have attended 80% of classes for each section, so it is important to communicate and justify absences. In special cases the Commission will determine whether the student teachers can be evaluated and will be reported before starting the assessment.
The assessment consists of a written test that will be conducted outside the classroom environment, with the help of the documentation and bibliography provided during the course, notes, etc.
The topics will be stated once the theoretical module finishes and the evaluations of the three theoretical modules, will score 40% of the final of the Masters.
The evaluation will assess:
- The content and overall consistency.
- The acquisition of knowledge.
- The adoption of the conceptual framework.
- The use of knowledge and concepts.
- The presentation order method.
- The acquisition of skills and integration of these.
- The student's innovative contributions.
The rating system is:
A: excellent (9.0 to 10)
B: Very good (7.0 to 8.9)
C: Approved (5.0 to 6.9)
D: Thriller (0 to 4.9)
Where to get rated "D" test should be repeated in whole or in part, following the recommendations of a tutorial that helps action to reflection, review and new approach to development of the subject
No work will be evaluated in order to master to have passed this module.
