  Partnership with Novartis brings evidence-based CME to Swiss physicians
Novartis Pharma Schweiz, one the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, has extended its relationship with HMI as part of a long-term strategy for providing continuing medical education programs for Swiss physicians. The success of courses on cardiology in 2004 and neurology, oncology, and cardiology in 2005 has paved the way for a wide range of general and specialty programs led by faculty from both Harvard Medical School and academic medical centers in Switzerland. As of this writing, more than 350 physicians have attended HMI-Novartis programs.
 
  Health care management program gives boost to Hua Shan’s hospital development
In June, HMI welcomed a contingent of leaders from the Hua Shan Hospital-Network for an extensive health care management program. The course was designed to enhance the capacity of the individuals to manage the development of Hua Shan’s network of health care facilities as the organization strives to enhance its competitive position in the greater Shanghai region.
 
  Acibadem hospitals focus on enhancing disaster management capabilities
Hospitals must be prepared not only to care for those injured by natural or man-made disasters, but also to mitigate the effects of these events on the facility itself. Acibadem Healthcare Group has made significant investments in its physical plant, equipment, and human resources with this challenge in mind. In June, Kadiköy Hospital in Istanbul was the site of Acibadem’s first disaster drill to evaluate current emergency preparedness efforts.
