Major introduction

Studies how to make healthcare systems more efficient and equitable, cultivating talents in health policy and hospital management.

Program overview

Social Medicine and Health Management, simply put, is about studying how to manage hospitals, design health insurance policies, and make public health services more effective. Core courses include health economics, hospital management, health policy analysis, epidemiology, health statistics, and more. If you are interested in the healthcare industry but don't want to be a clinician, this major is a great fit. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: for example, Peking University, Fudan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, among others, have strong faculty and hospital partnerships, giving students opportunities to participate in real hospital management projects or health policy research.

Major prospects

现在中国正在推进健康中国建设，医疗行业从规模扩张转向质量提升，对懂管理、懂政策的人才需求很大。比如公立医院改革、医保支付方式改革、分级诊疗、健康大数据应用等，都需要专业人才。国际学生可以关注中国与全球卫生合作项目，比如“一带一路”健康合作，或者跨国医疗集团在中国的业务。另外，老龄化带来的健康管理、慢病管理也是热点。

Career prospects

毕业后可以去医院（行政科室、医务处、运营管理部）、卫健委等政府部门、医保局、保险公司（健康险）、医疗咨询公司、国际卫生组织（如WHO驻华代表处）、医药企业（市场准入、政府事务）等。岗位比如医院管理岗、卫生政策研究员、健康项目主管、数据分析师。薪资方面，国内一线城市硕士起薪约8k-15k人民币/月，有经验后可达20k+。国际学生如果中文流利，机会更多。
