Healthcare leadership requires a unique combination of clinical understanding, management expertise, and research capability — and the Rushford DBA in Healthcare Management develops all three. This online DBA (3 years, 180 ECTS) from Rushford Business School, Switzerland develops advanced competencies in health systems, healthcare strategy, quality management, and applied research. Graduates pursue roles as hospital CEOs, health system directors, healthcare policy leads, and academic faculty.
The programme builds on a business management foundation — managerial skills, cutting-edge leadership, managerial economics, and strategic management — before advancing into a healthcare management specialisation and a doctoral research methodology track. Candidates develop advanced knowledge of healthcare organisation theory, clinical governance, health technology management, patient safety strategy, and the economics of healthcare delivery across public and private systems. The research component requires candidates to conduct original applied research into healthcare management challenges — from organisational culture change to value-based care implementation — producing evidence-based insights for both organisational improvement and academic publication. Being an EduQua Certified institution, member of ACBSP and IACBE, this Rushford DBA is ideal for senior healthcare executives, hospital administrators, and health policy leaders seeking doctoral-level credentials in healthcare management.
