As per several industry reports and estimates, Indian healthcare industry is expected to become US$280 billion by 2020. At present sector is US$40 billion, and expected to grow at 14% per annum.

Hundreds of new hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic centres are coming up nationally covering several large and small cities. The strong growth in this sector is driving up the demand for skilled / trained manpower.

Tenet Health Edutech Pvt. Ltd. (Cliniminds / Mediminds), India’s leading clinical research and healthcare training institute has collaborated with Astron, India’s leading hospital and healthcare management and consulting firms to provide the healthcare / hospital management and administration skills to the students of healthcare management programs. Cliniminds offers wide range of healthcare management post graduate programs. As a part of these programs, Cliniminds students would be offered Internships at Astron Healthcare and at the hospitals and healthcare facilities nationally. Under these programs students would be offered extensive placement assistance

At present there are several certificate, diploma and University level MBA programs in healthcare and hospital management & administration are being offered by institutions. However, there are several drawbacks in most of these programs. One of the most important drawbacks is that these programs do not offer any hands on practical long term training to the students in the real hospital or healthcare facility environment. Hence, students who pass out from these educational institutions lack practical training and do not carry sufficient skill set to work in the hospital or a healthcare facility and need lot of training again at the hospital. Most hospitals would like students to know the hospital and healthcare facility business, processes and operations and would like them to start with minimal training.

The joint programs offered by Cliniminds and Astron would fill this skill gap and shortage of well trained manpower faced by the healthcare industry and hospitals would be offered a new generation of well trained healthcare management professionals.

The new batch of post graduate programs under this joint venture would be launched in February 2011.
