The program takes place in two intensive 1-week sessions in Berkeley and Barcelona.

The sixth edition of the Global Health Leadership Forum is a joint initiative of the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics together with the UPF Center for Research in Health and Economics (CRES).
The Approach
The demands of day-to-day work don’t leave me– a senior health executive– time to deepen my understanding of the most salient issues affecting the future of the field.
I need to stay on top of the latest news and market trends and find out about the latest developments in Health Policy and Healthcare Systems. I need to get a clear idea of what the future holds for healthcare, both in my country and internationally.
During two intensive weeks spent surrounded by some of the world’s foremost healthcare experts, I will study the latest news and major advances in healthcare and gain the knowledge crucial to staying at the cutting edge of industry.
Immersed in a dynamic learning environment, I will share experiences, swap stories, and evaluate case studies with fellow healthcare executives in order to face the future in the best possible way. During the six-month interim between sessions, I will tackle a real issue affecting my company or profession under the guidance of an expert faculty member.
