Academy of Health Care Management

What Academy of Health Care Management does

Academy of Health Care Management (AHCM) is a privately held Czech educational institution headquartered in Prague 5, operating in the niche of postgraduate healthcare management education. Its core products are an 18-month executive MBA in Healthcare Management (delivered in monthly Friday-Saturday weekend sessions in Prague and, from January 2025, in Ostrava) and a 14-month LL.M. in Medical Law, Bioethics and Modern Technologies in Healthcare, both Ministry of Education-accredited as requalification study and co-developed with US academic partners (Texas Wesleyan University providing academic guarantee for the MBA; University of Pittsburgh for the LL.M.). Supporting offerings include professional conferences and customized corporate seminars organized in partnership with Czech institutional and pharmaceutical stakeholders (HARTMANN-RICO, Roche, Janssen, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Biogen), plus a Moodle-based e-learning platform (e-learning.ahcm.cz) that hosts the distance-learning components of both programs.

The business model combines tuition revenue (split-installment billing, VAT-exempt) with event-based and corporate-training fees. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, reaching senior healthcare executives through healthcare conferences, professional networks, pharma-funded co-branded events, and policy-level engagement at the Czech Senate and Chamber of Deputies. The institution is founder-led (Chairman MUDr. Oldřich Šubrt) with an academic council drawing international faculty from Texas Wesleyan, Mississippi State, Auburn, Pittsburgh, and Udine. With only six employees, AHCM is operationally micro-scale, dependent on a tight network of academic, governmental, and pharmaceutical partnerships to deliver its programs; it has no disclosed external funding and no AI/ML technology stack beyond the standard Moodle LMS.
