Overview

The Digital Health Management course from Medical School Berlin offers enormous potential for improving patient welfare. Information and communication technologies will play an indispensable role in the future in providing healthcare services. Telemedicine will be widely used, the use of health records and health portals will continue to increase, and mobile offerings will become standard. To shape the digital transformation in the healthcare system, well-trained academics are needed who form a bridge between information technology, medicine, and the management of legal framework conditions.

The Master's program in Digital Health Management at MSB responds to this development and offers a forward-looking and modern master's degree in computer science, medicine, and management. Technical content is combined with medical and business content. The Master's program is aimed at graduates of business, computer science, and health science bachelor's programs and provides access to one of the most important fields of application in the healthcare system.

Career opportunities:

The federal government wants to embark on a digitalization offensive - and the Berlin metropolitan area is to be strengthened in particular. The plan is to develop the capital region into a model region for digitalization in the healthcare sector. From 2020, Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) wants to test the use of selected digital applications, such as health apps, in practice in Berlin and the surrounding area - before they are rolled out across Germany. Spahn: "Germany can become a driver of innovation in digital health. We just have to dare to." The model project "Future Region Digital Health" is to have a central anchorage in Berlin/Brandenburg.

Digital health managers can mediate at the interface of product and healthcare system and help digital applications gain market access. Possible areas of application and fields of work include:

Medical technology companies
Pharmaceutical companies
Software companies (app developers)
Statutory health insurance and private health insurance companies
Hospitals, outpatient healthcare facilities and nursing homes
