On Monday, March 30, 2026, the Aula Magna of the University of Parma will host the Inauguration Ceremony of the Master’s Programs in Healthcare for the 2025/2026 academic year, a key moment marking the official start of teaching activities and the welcoming of the new student community. The event will take place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and will represent an important opportunity for exchange and sharing among students, faculty, and professionals, offering a space for reflection on the value of advanced education in the health and social care context and on the future development of the training programs.
The day will open with welcome remarks by Prof. Antonio Bonacaro, President of the Master’s Programs in Healthcare, followed by institutional greetings from the Rector, Prof. Paolo Martelli. This will be followed by a lectio magistralis by Prof. Loredana Sasso, entitled “Community and Advanced Nursing: The Contribution of the Profession to a Modern, Inclusive and Resilient Healthcare System”, which will provide insights into care models and the role of health professions in today’s context.
In-person attendance is strongly recommended, as it represents a valuable opportunity to connect directly with the Master’s community and to begin the educational journey in a shared and informed way. For those unable to attend, the event will be available via live streaming on the University’s YouTube channel. In the afternoon, a dedicated session will be held for meetings between students and tutors of each Master’s program, providing detailed information on program organization, teaching methods, and the tools that will support students throughout the academic year.
The ceremony on March 30 thus marks the beginning of a new year of learning, exchange, and professional growth for the entire community of the Master’s Programs in Healthcare at the University of Parma.
