Management and Health Technologies
Master's studies in the study programme Management and Health Technologies are offered by the Faculty of Pharmacy in cooperation with the Faculty of Management of Comenius University Bratislava, in a combination of two fields of study, in the field of economics and management and in the field of health sciences.
The standard length of study is two years. The studies are completed by the award of the degree of Master of Science (Mgr.).
The study programme in Management and Health Technologies combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills of an interdisciplinary nature, which enable the graduate to apply professional and methodological knowledge in the field of management to the health sciences in order to ensure the effective management of quality and safety of health technologies in the field of medical devices used in the prevention of diseases, in diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and for the prognosis of health conditions.
The graduate of the study has extensive knowledge, which, based on evidence and experience from practice (the curriculum includes the implementation of a diploma project in connection with practice), is applied to the management of therapeutic technologies and medical diagnostics using medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs). The graduate possesses cognitive and practical skills developed during the internship and the implementation of the diploma project. Case studies focused on solving real-life situations equip him/her with a high degree of autonomy and foresight, demonstrating initiative and the ability to take responsibility for managing the work of a team, applying management practices and approaches in order to generate added value in the form of concrete health and socio-economic solutions for society. He/she is able to present the results of his/her own studies and practice in a professional manner.
The graduation provides a solid theoretical background for the graduate's employment in middle or senior management positions. In the context of the rapid development of innovations in medical technology, especially in the field of medical devices, including IVDs, the demand for professional medical technology managers is already high and promising for the future.
Prospects of graduates
Graduates of the Management and Health Technologies programme will find a wide range of employment in the healthcare sector in the state, public and private spheres. They will be employed in the relevant government departments, e.g. the State Institute for Drug Control (SIDC), which is also responsible for medical devices. SIDC ensures supervision of the quality, safety and purpose for which the medical device is intended. Graduates can also apply as notified persons for the assessment of medical technologies in the field of medical devices at the Office for Standardization, Metrology and Testing of the Slovak Republic, in quality control laboratories, in health insurance companies, in the production and distribution of medical devices. Graduates of the study programme are employed by pharmaceutical companies with a portfolio of medical devices, manufacturing corporations to companies that carry out custom production. As medical technology managers, they will be employed in healthcare institutions - in general and specialised inpatient facilities, in hospital and public pharmacies, in pharmacy chains, in medical device dispensaries, etc. They can also be applied in educational activities, science and research in academic environments and research institutions.
