Bachelor of Hospital Management

Bachelor of Hospital Management (BHM) is an undergraduate degree, typically spanning three years, that trains students for administrative and managerial roles in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. It is a degree in healthcare and hospital administration, not hotel management, and is different from hotel management programmes regulated by the NCHMCT. The curriculum covers hospital operations, healthcare quality, medical records and health information management, health insurance, hospital law and ethics, and healthcare finance and marketing, along with a period of hospital internship in many programmes. BHM suits Class 12 pass students who want to work in the business and operational side of healthcare, coordinating hospital departments and patient services rather than providing direct clinical care.
