HEC Paris in Qatar, WCM-Q host executive education programme

HEC Paris in Qatar and Weill Cornell Medicine - Qatar (WCM-Q), both partner universities of Qatar Foundation, have successfully hosted the second module of the new executive education programme in healthcare management and policy, which they jointly designed to help drive excellence in healthcare provision in Qatar and across the region by integrating systems-level management expertise with a deep understanding of medical care.

The programme fully leveraged the combined expertise of HEC Paris, ranked No. 1 in executive education worldwide in the Financial Times Rankings 2022, and Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, part of the Ivy League Cornell University and one of the most respected and highly rated medical research centres in the Gulf region.

It highlights the value of collaboration between institutions at Education City, aligned with the new Qatar Foundation multiversity strategy.

The five-day module was the final of two in the programme, with the first having taken place in New York.

The programme attracted a mix of clinicians and non-clinicians, healthcare executives and policymakers, and private sector support service companies. Among the participants, several prominent actors of Qatar’s health system were represented, including Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Sidra Medicine, WCM-Q and Qatar University.
