Abstract:
The paper discusses the basic contents, characteristics, and development trend of training programs abroad for high level hospital administrators as represented by MHA (Master of Hospital Administration) programs. Those programs establish curricula and training modes in light of the primary tasks and responsibilities of high level hospital administrators. They attach importance to the cultivation of concepts of macro health and ideas of modern management, provide training in methodologies of public health as represented by bio statistics and epidemiology, emphasize practical matters of operation and management such as hospital planning, quality control and financial accounting, and make wide use of case studies so as to enhance the abilities to solve practical problems. Hospital reform and development make it imperative to improve the training of high level hospital administrators, which must be properly oriented, and to develop domestic MHA programs with Chinese characteristics by utilizing existing resources of health administration education and integrate relevant courses.
