Director, Intestinal & Multi-visceral Transplant, Professor of Surgery & Pediatrics, Mount Sinai Medical Center
The LSE/NICE Executive Program has turned out to be a very stimulating mix of very well-organized classes and seminars taking us rapidly and seamlessly from the basics to real-world challenges. The pace is fast but with abundant time for discussion. The mix of LSE faculty and NICE’s technical experts is particularly valuable as it allows for translating theory into practice. The best aspect of the class though is the benefit of the unique perspectives from my truly global classmates who each brings his or her own unique experiences to bear on the discussions.
Pierre Roca
External Relations Officer, World Health Organization
The excellent courses and the intensive work with the dissertation opened new perspectives and gave me new skills that helped me transition to a new phase of my career. After working in the pharmaceutical industry, I moved on to work in the United Nations system and also held a position in the European Commission. Furthermore, I expanded my network of relevant health economics and policy experts and I made many new friends with whom I am still in contact.
