This Master’s degree was an experience that exceeded my expectations, enriched my professional practice, and allowed me to view the role of health specialties from a different perspective.
It provided the opportunity to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in the area of co-creating health interventions, project management, health economics, and within the scope of health policies at both national and international levels.
