O HMP é um programa de excelência composto por docentes dotados e capazes de transmitir  conhecimentos relevantes e fulcrais à audiência que participa no curso. Assim, do meu ponto de vista, torna-se um programa ideal para aprofundar tanto conhecimentos gerais de gestão como circuitos funcionais adaptados a realidades hospitalares e sua relação com os meios envolventes (Cuidados de Saúde Primários e Entidades Reguladoras de Saúde). O acolhimento aos participantes é notável, quer pelos coordenadores, quer pelos docentes que lecionam as várias unidades curriculares que compõem o curso. Em resultado sinto-me mais confiante, capaz de interagir e debater ideias no âmbito da saúde.

The Healthcare Management Program helped me to structure the knowledge needed to coordinate a health unit and its multidisciplinary team. It is a program taught in a flexible format and with a high quality teaching staff, providing a knowledge acquisition in a format easily applicable to the management and leadership of a company. It is definitely the best management program in terms of content integration for health professionals.

Falar do Programa Avançado de Gestão em Saúde é acima de tudo recordar uma experiência muito gratificante, quer do ponto de vista da valorização profissional quer numa perspetiva de enriquecimento pessoal. O PAGS permitiu-me partilhar experiências, conhecimentos e opiniões com um conjunto muito diversificado de "players" da área da saúde o que foi muito positivo. Os temas lecionados são abrangentes e o leque de professores foi uma mais-valia, quer pelos seus curriculos quer pela sua experiência.

Health in Portugal, as an increasingly representative sector in terms of costs, but also in terms of access conditions to key assets. The relationship between the multidisciplinary Public Service and the Private sector, committed to ensuring innovative standards of care. The Management in the clinical environment, a challenge to cooperation and maximization of resources. These are some of the starting points of the Healthcare Management Program (HMP), a course with a wide range of specialists that stimulate learning.

Given the current challenges of change, organizational dynamics and inherent complexity of the health sector, the acquisition of skills in management is imperative. Nurses as part of the hospital organization, play a strategic role in the provision of high quality health care. Attending the Healthcare Management Program was a very rewarding and enriching experience as it allowed me learning and consolidate the knowledge, thus optimizing my performance in health management. The opportunity to share opinions and concerns for health issues within a dynamic and heterogeneous group was another important aspect of the program.

For some years, hospital day-to-day management issues have arisen, as well as in private medicine, which I exercise, have aroused my curiosity and often my perplexity. Nowadays, due to a large number of changes that our health system has undergone, these issues have been reinforced in a more significant and weighted way, without necessarily translate toward a positive final balance.
Currently, the providers of healthcare of excellence are not only the ones in which we provide the best health care, the most sophisticated equipment and the best and most motivated professionals but, they are also linked, without a doubt, with a lower cost and as little waste as possible.  The goal intended will only be achieved if all the professionals involved speak the same language, work for the same purpose and are in perfect harmony. It will only be achieved a great outcome if all professionals are committed, which hence the need for physicians to also participate in the management and decision-making processes in the institutions to which they belong.​ If this does not happen, even the best decision faces failure. These were the reasons that led me to attend the Advanced Health Management Program, which I strongly recommend to all physicians.​​
