IIM Calcutta and TimesPro Open Admissions for Healthcare Management Programme
IIM Calcutta, a famous business school in India, is teaming up with an education company called TimesPro.
Together, they are inviting people to join a special class about healthcare management.
This class is for doctors, hospital workers, and people who want to run hospitals.
The class lasts for 12 months and happens online.
Students will also travel to the school in Kolkata for seven days of learning.
In this class, students learn how to manage hospitals, use computers, and make good decisions.
This will help them become leaders in healthcare.
India needs more healthcare leaders because health services are growing quickly.
The government also wants to train many more health workers.
When students finish, they get a certificate from IIM Calcutta.

The 12-month live online programme is designed for doctors, hospital administrators, allied healthcare professionals and healthcare entrepreneurs.
Participants will attend a seven-day on-campus immersion at IIM Calcutta across two campus visits.
