The Faculty of Economic Sciences at National University of Cuyo offers this graduate program aimed at providing academic, professional, and scientific contributions to the effective management of public and private health organizations across Latin America. This Master’s program allows graduates to advance their careers and professional development within an academic community supported by highly qualified faculty with extensive experience in health services management.
The connection between economics, administration, and healthcare management—the program's central theme—continues to be essential and highly demanded by health institutions in the region. Professionals working in the health sector, who typically hold undergraduate or biomedical specialization degrees, increasingly need to deepen their formal knowledge of social science disciplines, particularly in administration and economics. This Master’s program addresses a critical gap in institutional management skills and seeks to train professionals capable of leading organizational transformation and adaptation in the face of constant social, economic, and political change. By doing so, the program contributes to more efficient management and more equitable health outcomes, aligned with the expectations of society.
