Healthcare Administration for Western Eurasia and the Caucasus

Home > Group Program > Healthcare Administration

 

Scope and Mission of the Program

The SABIT Healthcare Administration Program for Western Eurasia and the Caucasus is designed to train 18 mid- to senior-level executives from the Eurasian healthcare sector. These delegates, screened and selected by the U.S. Department of Commerce, represent the upper echelon of hospital administrators and head physicians from three Western Eurasian countries (Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine) and three countries from the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia) whose health care systems are currently undergoing a period of transition. This program will introduce participants to the status and trends of the U.S. healthcare system and current themes in hospital administration.

 

Program Objectives

The Healthcare Administration program aims to introduce modern healthcare management techniques to executives from Western Eurasia. This will be done primarily through meetings with leading U.S. healthcare organizations as well as related U.S. companies, who will showcase the latest in health care innovations and best management practices. The overriding goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of hospital administration practices in the United States, and for these high-level managers to return home with the skills and knowledge necessary to affect change and make improvements within their own organizations and healthcare systems.

 

Benefits of Participation

This is a unique opportunity for U.S. companies to provide industry insight and training while showcasing their products and services to Western Eurasian counterparts. By hosting this SABIT Group, U.S. companies will build relationships with leaders of the health care sector in the region.
