KSHITI
The MHA program at SRHU played a vital role in shaping my understanding of hospital management and patient-centred care. Hands-on exposure at their tertiary care hospital gave me practical insights into hospital operations and patient coordination. In medical tourism as an International Patient Case Manager, I specialize in managing end-to-end care for international patients- from initial consultation to treatment and follow-up- while ensuring seamless coordination between hospitals, clinicians, and support services. My focus is on delivering a smooth, efficient, and patient-centric healthcare journey for those traveling to India or other countries for treatment. The strong academic foundation and experiential learning at SRHU continue to guide me in my profession.

Completing my Master of Hospital Administration (MHA) from SRHU laid a strong foundation for my career in healthcare. The curriculum, combined with the guidance of experienced faculty, provided me with a solid understanding of healthcare systems and administration. Hands-on training at the well-equipped tertiary care hospital, along with research opportunities including paper publication, helped me develop strong practical skills and a solution-oriented approach to real-world healthcare challenges. These experiences have been instrumental in shaping my current role as Hospital Manager at a District Hospital of Uttarakhand, where I apply the competencies gained during MHA to improve hospital operations and healthcare delivery.

I graduated from SRHU with a master’s degree in Hospital Administration in 2021 with a solid foundation of hospital/healthcare management. After graduation, I landed a job as an International Patient Care Manager at a Medical Tourism organization eventually working my way up to a senior manager position. To recent graduates I would say, take risks and try new things. Also, networking is incredibly important, so don't be afraid to reach out to alumni or professionals in your desired field.

Pursuing the MHA program from SRHU has been the right decision that I took in my career path. The daily postings at SRHU’s own NABH accredited teaching hospital provided me the hands on experience and confidence of handling the day to day operations of a hospital. It was because of this kind of hospital exposure that I got the opportunity to work at the prestigious AIIMS, Delhi as a Patient Care Manager soon after completing my MHA degree.
