Associazione Alumni ALTEMS

What Associazione Alumni ALTEMS does

Associazione Alumni ALTEMS is the alumni association tied to ALTEMS (Alta Scuola di Economia e Management dei Sistemi Sanitari), a postgraduate education and research school housed within Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and operating from the Rome campus. The unit was established by Rectoral Decree No. 6065 on July 7, 2009, to consolidate postgraduate training in healthcare economics and management that previously sat across multiple university departments, and it now serves doctors, nurses, pharmacists, hospital administrators, regional health system managers, and biomedical/biotech industry professionals seeking formal credentials in health economics, HTA, operations management, leadership, and health policy.

The core offering is a portfolio of academic programs structured around seven thematic areas (Organization and Management; Operations Management; Economic Evaluations and HTA; Digital Innovation and Health Communication; Health Policy and Planning; Healthcare Legislation; Big Data, AI and Quantitative Methods). The portfolio includes Level I and Level II university Master's programs, executive education, Corsi di Alta Formazione (advanced professional courses priced roughly €1,500–€2,300), Summer Schools for patient and citizen associations, and dedicated laboratories/observatories (including Laboratorio SCHOLA and Laboratorio Dialoghi per la Salute). Delivery spans the Rome campus (Largo Francesco Vito, 1), the Milan campus (Via Carducci), the Poppi Summer Camp venue, and synchronous/asynchronous online instruction via the Blackboard platform. The underlying technology stack is a standard academic LMS (Blackboard) backed by the Cineca esse3 enrollment system, with no proprietary software, APIs, or AI models disclosed; AI and data science appear as curriculum content rather than as a product surface.

The business model is tuition-driven, with program fees ranging from €1,500 for short advanced courses up to €6,000 for a Level II Master's, structured as multi-installment multi-year contracts (e.g., €3,500 at enrollment plus €2,500 by July 30, 2027 for the OMAS program), with early-bird discounts of 10–20% and additional 10–20% reductions for UCSC students, medical residents, and members of partner associations. A wholly-owned consulting subsidiary, ALTEMS Advisory, extends monetization into paid advisory work for healthcare organizations. Distribution is sales-led through direct enrollment and a dense network of partnerships with national healthcare bodies and professional associations — AGENAS (35 scholarships for HTA training), FIASO, AIOP, AIIC, SIHTA, SIIAM, SIMM, SItI, CARD, INGESAN, CERISMAS, Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli IRCCS, Istituto Clinico Humanitas, and SUMAI Assoprof via FARE SALUTE — providing member discounts and funneling healthcare professionals into ALTEMS programs. Customer reach since inception is a 3,500+ alumni network operating primarily within Italy's public and private healthcare sectors.
