Testimonials

“I am working as a Pathologist and Lab Head at Healthians Diagnostic Labs, Bengaluru. I have about 11 years experience post MD (Pathology). Though I was doing reasonably well in my mid stage of career, there was a need for me to understan the nuances of management to progress further and do justice to the various responsibilities entrusted upon me as the lab head. I have become more mature in handling difficult situations at work (thanks to the rich case based scenario learning). Secondly It has made my resume attractive enough for me to be called for various seminars and webinars as a speaker. Most of all I cherish the good memories and life long bonding developed at the campus contact sessions with the faculty and fellow batch-mates. EPHM program is mandatory for any healthcare professional looking for an extra push in the career.”
