Course in Healthcare Risk Governance

The Course in Healthcare Risk Governance is a post-graduate advanced training course, not a master's, offered by the University of Bergamo. The programme covers healthcare law, legal risk management, healthcare litigation, healthcare governance, legal risk prevention, protection of users' rights, compliance processes and accreditation. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The format is weekend, on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings, based in Bergamo. The course lasts 300 hours, is worth 12 credits and costs 1,500 euros. The language is Italian.

The aim is to strengthen regulatory interpretation skills, develop a critical attitude in legal risk prevention, improve litigation management and consolidate skills in protecting users' rights. The career opportunities are healthcare facility administrator, healthcare legal consultant, healthcare manager, medical director and compliance manager. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
