The University of Parma, through the Healthcare Master’s Programs offered by the Department of Medicine and Surgery, reaffirms its commitment to providing excellent educational pathways that combine theory and practice, fostering the development of research in the healthcare and social care fields. 

The training provided by these Master’s programs goes beyond the acquisition of technical and theoretical skills. It aims to integrate this knowledge with practical experiences that enable students to tackle real-world challenges in the social and healthcare sector. This approach promotes innovative research projects, with the goal of finding concrete and forward-thinking solutions to the emerging issues in modern healthcare. 

Master’s students are encouraged to engage in applied research activities on topics of significant relevance to healthcare and social care, such as clinical risk management, optimization of care pathways, use of digital technologies, and integration of new organizational models.
