Opening the discussion session, Dr. Le Quoc Su shared his experience in hospital management which is dynamic for the private sector. He assumed that the hospital management major of UEH referred to diverse international sources, with a competent team of lecturers, and curricula contents adapting to the requirements of employers. Nevertheless, Dr. Su mentioned the need for positioning specific objectives, middle-level, and high-level operations of the operation management program. Learners are required to be aware of the organizational structure of hospitals to obtain planned targets, visions, and missions. Directors are those who have the expertise and control the operation effectively. The increasing number of private hospitals raises the demand for middle-level and high-level operation managers who are business-minded and understand intensively finance both in its quality and quantity. The program demands the creation of learners’ experiences and applying knowledge-to-reality skills.
