Dr. Sandip Rane

As a practicing cardiologist for the past 40 years and the director of Rane Hospital, I’vealways believed that clinical expertise would be enough to build a successful medical practice. However, over time, I’ve realized that running a hospital requires much more, especially in today’s competitive landscape with the rise of corporate hospitals .Traditionally, medical professionals like us tend to stay away from finance and marketing, assuming our skills alone will attract patients. But the dynamics have changed. To manage a hospital effectively, one must understand the financial and marketing aspects as well. That’s precisely why I joined this course—to strengthen my understanding of finance and marketing. The course has been transformative. It clarified concepts like cash flow, profit and loss, balance sheets, and key financial ratios. I now understand how to track profitability, increase revenue, reduce losses, and run our hospital more efficiently. Equally enlightening was the section on marketing. It helped me see that marketing in healthcare isn’t about aggressive promotion—it’s about effectively communicating the value of your services to patients and building trust in your expertise. For any medical professional transitioning from private practice to managing a nursing home or hospital, I strongly recommend this course. Running a clinic is vastly different from running a hospital. This course offers the essential foundation and practical insights needed to manage a healthcare facility efficiently and profitably. Thank you.

Dr. Shelly

Dr. Sakshi Khullar

I joined the Hospital Management program in June 2024, and midway through the course, I
can already see a significant transformation in the way I work. Managing seven centers
across the northwest cluster, I’ve found the learning immensely valuable in improving my
day-to-day operations, team communication, leadership skills, and time management.
This program has not only enhanced my professional effectiveness but also contributed
meaningfully to my personal growth. I’m grateful to IIM Bangalore for this opportunity and
look forward to learning even more in the journey ahead.

Dr. Nithin Kaushik

I joined this course as an investment in myself—wanting to learn and grow beyond my clinical role. Initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the journey has been truly rewarding. The sessions, especially the online modules, were meticulously designed and executed with great care by the IIM Bangalore team. Every detail—from the content to the presentation—was thoughtfully curated, and it showed in the quality of learning. Visiting the IIMB campus was a highlight. Meeting the professors in person and experiencing their passion for teaching firsthand was inspiring. Their dedication, depth of knowledge, and the effort they put into making complex concepts easy to grasp left a lasting impression on me. I’m truly grateful for this experience and extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in making this course a success. I hope more professionals get to benefit from it in the future.
