The proposed Master's degree in Healthcare and Business Management aims to prepare future physicians to lead, improve and influence patient health and societal well-being beyond direct patient care. To be effective and useful in this future role, students must develop their knowledge, skills and attitudes in a number of knowledge areas in parallel with clinical studies. Specifically, this means combining medical knowledge with organizational, financial and management/leadership skills to improve human health and well-being. The programme is aimed exclusively at students in national medical programmes with a genuine interest in contributing to the development and management of public and private healthcare and biomedical industry. The programme recognises interprofessional collaboration as a cornerstone of improved and patient-centred care and develops students' leadership and transprofessional collaboration skills. Doctors with a solid knowledge base in economics and management/leadership are in short supply in Sweden. Students who complete the new two-year master's program and who gradually build new knowledge and skills will be able to improve the competitiveness of healthcare, society and companies.
