Health care experts face ageing populations, rising health care costs, fragmented health care supply and advancing medical technologies and IT services. These developments go beyond every day practice and will require new competences for not only health care professionals but also of management and directors of related organisations.

The Population Health Management (PHM) aims at:

• professionals who are able to work together in improving the health care system and advocating health care solutions in the broadest sense.
• realising an integrated way of thinking to approach health care subjects.
• organizations that transform to integrated health systems.

The programme has a solid structure consisting of various elements. Each day is organised around one aspect of health care governance. The day starts with a theoretical morning (theoretical and interactive lectures). After lunch students take part in the population and governance lab. A three hour practical working group around a week assignment. Each day ends with a capita selecta, in which the stake holders reflect on their own position and interests.
