MESSAGE FROM

The Institute has come a long way in the last three decades in working in the eld of health in terms of training, research and extension. Started as a one-semester programme on Certicate in Hospital Administration in 1980, today, the Institute boasts of 4 postgraduate degree programmes and three diploma programmes in the eld of health. The alumni of these programmes are occupying leadership positions in the health sector in India & abroad. This year, 4 postgraduate degree programme students will be attending campus placement. While MHA (Health) students are equipped to undertake leadership role in planning and implementing healthcare programmes in the government and the voluntary sectors, MHA (Hospital) students are trained to take up leadership role in hospitals and hospital consultancy organizations. In addition, both the programme students are trained in health related sectors like insurance and information technology. The students have very strong understanding of their respective health and hospital elds and are strongly moulded and mentored in managing health and hospital organizations. There are 27 students in the MHA (Health) programme and 44 students in the MHA (Hospital) programme. Master of Public Health (MPH) in Social Epidemiology is a unique programme in the sense, the focus of the programme is on social epidemiology. The students have very strong orientation in research skills and have good understanding of the epidemiology of both communicable & non-communicable diseases. These students will be excellent researchers and analysts in public health eld. There are 20 students in this programme. MPH in Health Policy, Economics and Finance is the new programme and the third batch will be passing out this year. This programme is developed in collaboration with London School of Economics (LSE). These students have strong orientation in economic evaluation of health programmes and interventions and have excellent skills in health policy research and analysis. There are 16 students in this programme for campus placement. The strength of all these programmes is strong emphasis on practical training and research skills. Every semester, the students are placed in organizations and communities related to their respective elds to understand and learn the real world, where they will be employed later . These students are ready to take-up the challenges before them in the health sector. Without hesitation, I can vouch that these students are going to make a positive difference and impact on the organizations that are going to recruit them. I wish them all success.

MASTER OF HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION

INTRODUCTION
Hospitals and healthcare facility providers as we see them today; are becoming some of the most complex and uid organizations to manage in the times to come. This was a challenge, foreseen early by the faculty at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, who were thus among the pioneers in instituting a full edged Masters in Hospital Administration in 1993 which to date remains one of the most coveted training programs this sector has seen. In the increasingly competitive arena of healthcare management education, the TISS strives to maintain its tradition of academic excellence whilst simultaneously working to radically transform its academic culture and spirit as is captured in its tryst towards Re-imagining Futures. Innovative and dynamic classroom teaching along with challenge based learning during the Internships puts hospital administration program at par with International teaching standards. This is what shapes one of the nest professionals of the country, striving to serve and lead the hospital and healthcare industry. The basis underlying the course framework is the fundamental understanding of hospitals as socially, structurally, technologically and nancially sensitive organizations employing a myriad mix of some of the most skilled and semi-skilled human resource. Along with a strong emphasis on their theoretical base, students are tested for their conceptual clarity through class presentations, case studies and group tasks simulating decision making in the hospital environment. Keeping in with the pace of the industry, the course content is continuously reviewed and revised to keep abreast of necessary developments whether it is hospital management information systems, Health insurance or Business development strategies for hospitals. With that, the students would undergo seven months of arduous internships across some of the best hospitals and allied organizations like consultancies, healthcare IT & health insurance companies in the country and simultaneously undertake individual projects addressing some of the relevant concerns or advancements in healthcare.

After covering, Health Insurance, Systems Development & Information Resource Management, Marketing and Business Development Strategies in last semester, the third internship places students in some of the largest healthcare corporations in the country like the Apollo Group of Hospitals, the Fortis Group, the Max Group, Manipal Group of Hospitals etc. In this posting they undertake specic micro-level assessment like modules for staff training, feasibility and marketing plans for new service or hospitals, working on actual HMIS databases and process reengineering for departments. Before students embark on their professional journey, they serve uncompensated in their choice of healthcare organizations like charitable hospitals, NGOs, consultancies, healthcare IT or insurance companies for a whole month rendering their knowledge and skills as they would in the organizations they would soon join. All internships follow absolutely stringent attendance rules and surprise visits.

RESEARCH
Each student is expected to take up an area of choice that he/she would work on for two years during the course under the guidance of both school faculty as well as industry experts to produce a report that is credited at the end of the course. It is referred to as a 'Research Project' as the student is preferably expected to maintain a practical approach with scientic research base towards the topic. The research project is an attempt to enable the student either to explore & analyze a new trend in healthcare or to work on specic area affecting hospital functioning on a professional basis after completion of the degree. After dening study objectives, the project involves relevant and actual data collection from hospitals that further enhances the eld exposure for the students. The report focuses on providing an in-depth understanding of the issue and most importantly, on providing working recommendations and implementable action plans. Some of the major areas students have attempted to study this year include:

Quality: Planning, Improvement, Assessment and Evaluation

Human Resource Management in Hospitals and Healthcare

Operations and Project Management Hospital Planning: Greeneld Hospitals and Energy Savings Measures in Hospitals

INTERNSHIPS
TISS believes that realization of theory into practice is the actual possession of knowledge. Nurtured with the same idea, internships not just expose the students to the intricacies of healthcare industry but also provide them with professional up - gradation in terms of conceptualization and implementation. Students are placed at various carefully chosen organizations to give them the actual avour of health related issues and ground realities, keeping in mind the role of a Health Administrator. Meticulously designed three rounds of internships (8,8,4 Weeks) give them a hands-on experience of various aspects of National Health Programs, the NGO sector, various community health programs, a rsthand exposure to government public health system, with a chance to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained from their academic experiences. Nevertheless, it enhances communication skills by working with diverse populations across India. Students are posted at various renowned organizations like ALERT India, AAROHI, URMUL, CINI, SATHI-CEHAT, SEWA, SEARCH, VHAI, CMC-RUHSA, SNEHA, IHMP , Aga Khan Health Services, MCGM,

MASTER OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

INTRODUCTION
TISS has been offering the Health administration programme since the early 1990s. Since then it has been the best in its efforts towards moulding the best candidates into the nest health managers. Over the years, the course curriculum has been reinvented and structured to keep pace with and meet the demands of the dynamic healthcare industry. The internships give a fresher the hands on experience of health management in various streams of healthcare industry ranging from NGOs to Municipal Corporations to many other private & public organisations. Thus, this course by its end exhaustively makes a candidate a utile health manager. The 2 year intensive program is designed to develop a cadre of professionals competent enough to take up key managerial and research positions in both public and private health sectors. The Master of Health Administration programme prepares students to take on managerial positions in the National Health Programmes, the NGO sector, CSR, healthcare consultancies, health insurance rms, healthcare IT companies, research organisations, community - based health programmes, pharmaceutical and medical instrumentation companies by building capacities in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation of programmes. It also orients the students to macro issues relevant to health policy and programming in the country. The teaching is beyond the four walls and the faculty members are ever enthusiastic to impart best knowledge to the students & various innovative ways adopted by them, like the eld visits, classroom exercises based on the topics of practical application, help students progress better.

Public health department of government of Maharashtra etc. These internships expose the students to the health care industry, help integrate and supplement classroom knowledge and skills enhancement. Apart from the individual assignments and projects done by students, they also indulge in projects given by the organizations. These internships are mutually benecial wherein students use it as a learning opportunity and the organizations tap the skills and knowledge of the students and engage them in their projects. Internships also have an element of global exposure. Selected students attend Summer Programme McAllen campus at School of Rural Public Health (SRPH), Texas A & M University, USA under collaboration of TISS and A & M University Texas.

DISSERTATION
Dissertation is a mandatory component of the programme in Master of Health Administration & has been assigned the maximum credits. This by far has been one of the best learning the students have received from the Institute. The guidance by the faculty members along with their motivation has proved to be invaluable to the extent of even having students publishing their research papers in renowned journals. In an industry like healthcare that is changing fast, organisations must continuously revise their design and range of products. This is necessary due to the continuous technological changes and development as well as the changing preferences of customers. Without a Research & Development program, an organisation would have to rely on strategic alliances, acquisitions, and networks to tap into the innovations of others. Thus, research helps the organization to forgo its present methods & come up with the ones that will help it perform at its best and that is exactly what our candidates are experts in. As an institute excelling in post-graduate programmes, we here learn not only to manage healthcare but to

We have been successful in attracting the titans of the health sector like WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, NHSRC, SHRC, NRHM, NACO, PATH, CARE, Aga Khan Health Services, ICICI, Infosys and PWC, Reliance CSR for our recruitments in the past & have been able to make it up to their expectations. The course curriculum has a shade of social science along with the foundations of management which makes it unique & thus the students are conditioned to be better management personnels with a sense of social responsibility. This blend comes from the core management based courses like principles of management, strategic healthcare management, operations research, nancial management along with the very sensitive courses like social science perspectives on health, research methodology etc. Thus the artefact of these academic courses is what we bring to the healthcare industry with our ingress.

The second internship is designed to understand health and its determinants typical to rural communities. Students are encouraged to carry out additional research on a public health situation and social issues pertinent to the particular community and suggest suitable practical recommendations for improvement. The activities included detailed community mapping, addressing health issues and exploring the social determinants of the particular health problem. Treatment seeking behavior of the community was also studied in detail and emphasis was also given to the social problems existing in the community.

MPH SOCIAL EPIDEMIOLOGY

INTRODUCTION
Right from the recommendations of Bhore committee report in 1946, the recent NHP 2002 and the NRHM documents, all highlight the importance of training of public health professionals as an essential requirement for the improvement of the health situation in the country. In wake of the public health problems being faced by the country in the social, cultural and economic context, there is an increased need to emphasize on social epidemiology. The Masters of Public health at TISS caters to the need for trained human power and helps in the building and maintenance of public health with a special focus on Social Epidemiology. This programme explores elaborately the link between the social determinants and health of the population along with strong methodological and technical foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis and national and international public health policies. This programme is covered over the span of four semesters, with emphasis given to research related courses and development of public health paradigms. The eclectic mix of students from various educational backgrounds and work experiences adds new perspectives and knowledge on various issues pertaining to public health. Polished by excellent faculty in knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of national and international public health issues, and further honed in community interaction and research skills by multiple internships, the course ordains students to shine bright in the public health scene, be it rural or urban, national or global. As epidemiologists, We weigh, balance and contrast and over the years, TISS has spawned a generation of superlative public health professionals.

RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS
The MPH course consists of two internships, one each at the end of second and third semester. Each internship duration is of eight weeks. The 1st internship primarily focuses on urban slums of Mumbai. It is designed to give important insight into the prevailing health issues of urban slums through socio demographic proling of the community. Individual, quantitative studies are carried out on population sub-groups residing in the community for elaborate understanding. Detailed analysis of several factors such as, socioeconomic status, health status, morbidity pattern, utilization of healthcare services and expenditure for healthcare are undertaken. Internships also have a dimension of global exposure with selected students getting an exclusive opportunity to attend international summer internships at University of Minnesota and A & M University Texas, USA. Research being the core of MPH, the entire last semester is dedicated to the dissertation, a process which commences early in the rst semester. Each student is expected to work on a current and challenging topic. These studies are carried out under the guidance of a designated faculty member. The dissertation is duly reviewed at each step by the faculty - right from the presentation of the proposal to data collection and to the actual analysis. The studies are qualitative, quantitative or a mix of both the types. A wide range of health problems ranging from communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases to women's health issues are covered. The student applies theoretical knowledge to the selected issue to come up with remarkable results. The data collection, analysis and application help apply the concept in the eld. Students are taught computer programs such as SPSS, STATA and Atlas ti. Published research carves out a niche for MPH at SHSS, which is known for its research excellence.

MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH IN HEALTH POLICY, ECONOMICS AND FINANCE

INTRODUCTION
The health system in India is going through a phase of transition that calls for a global multidisciplinary approach towards establishing an efcient and equitable healthcare. Such an approach needs a problem solving expertise, keeping in mind all the social, economical, political and nancial challenges. Meeting all these challenges can be made possible only with an expertise in critical analysis of issues within health policy, economics and nancing. The Master of Public Health (MPH) in Health Policy, Economics and Finance, developed by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), has been designed with a global focus to create a cohort of well trained public health professionals. The programme, which stretches over a period of two years, offers a perfect blend of both descriptive and analytical courses. The rst two semesters are dedicated to extensive class room training which includes lectures, seminars, debates and discussions. It serves as an excellent platform for students from different backgrounds and work experiences to exchange ideas and engage together in this learning process. The third semester offers an opportunity to observe, experience and implement the concepts learnt, in the eld. In the fourth semester, the students dedicate themselves completely towards their research projects.
