Dear student,
 
Alsalm Alikum Warahmout Allah Wabarkatouh.
 
First of all, thank you very much for registering in "Hospital Administration-PA 501". I am in-charge of instructing this subject under the cooperation of some of the internal and external professional healthcare specialists. The aim of this email/announcement is to welcome you and introduce some essential principles in this subject.
 
You are strongly encouraged to participate effectively to make the pedagogical outcomes of this subject fruitful in terms of theory and practice. While the theme of this subject is to introduce you to the basic health administration functions, our major goal is to assist you to think critically about the interactions between healthcare management roles and their factual applications nationally and internationally.
 
 
By the end of this course, we hope that you will have the sufficient knowledge to demonstrate sound healthcare management tools. Additionally, we strive to update you with the recent health management issues related to the SA healthcare system.
 
This subject is delivered once a week (Tuesdays 06:00 PM-09:00 PM). It is a student-based-learning course- where periodically and in every lecture- some students are kindly nominated to discuss some chronologically listed subjects. 
 
Beside other references, one of the initial materials that we have to critically read through this semester is:
Selected advanced articles about Healthcare services.
 
 

Should you have any concern, please feel free to contact me via my official email. All communications are kept confidential and documented.
 
Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
