Being a professor of Health Care at TIAS as well as an intensivist in an academic hospital, this is the way how I distinguish myself in my work. Together with the professionalism of other lecturers and the experiences of our participants, this makes this program unique.

To look at healthcare from different perspectives and to put it in a larger context, you can combine your own knowledge of healthcare with the insights and skills required to take your organization to the next level, by bringing truly new solutions and better care. It makes you a powerful leader who knows how to achieve more. Do you recognize your ambitions to contribute to a future-proof healthcare sector? We are happy to tell you more!’ Prof. Dr. Peter van der Voort
