On Saturday, October 28, 28 managers received their graduation diplomas in the fourth edition of this acclaimed program. They were celebrating their great success in the presence of professor Zbigniew Gaciong, Rector of WUM Medical University of Warsaw, professor Piotr Wachowiak, Rector of SGH Warsaw School of Economics, and professor Maciej Słodkowski, director of WUM Postgraduate Training Center.

The diplomas certify the graduates’ competence in the field of effective management of the healthcare sector. – For two years, the participants of our program were working with extraordinary commitment, acquiring valuable experience and knowledge – says Artur Białoszewski, program leader on behalf of WUM. – Healthcare is gaining importance as a sector and should be defined more broadly today. Not only does it encompass medical facilities but also regulatory authorities, drug and medical equipment manufacturers, or law firms. Our graduates are aware of these circumstances and understand the market mechanisms working in this area. This is the reason why their skills are appreciated and desirable in all managerial positions.

Emilia Kowalczyk, who graduated with the highest grade, should be specifically acknowledged. The best teachers of the fourth edition were recognized and received their diplomas as well: Rafał Mrówka, Tomasz Rostkowski, Justyna Całkowska, Piotr Wachowiak, Waldemar Rogowski, Robert Mołdach, Dariusz Użycki, Marcin Czech, Artur Białoszewski, and Monika Raulinajtys-Grzybek (program manager on behalf of SGH).

Special guests attending the event included Dr Irena Eris and Piotr Bromber, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Health, who spoke about their careers and experience in business and politics.
