Abstract EN
This study describes the content of entrepreneurship education in health care education and the kinds of teaching methods that are used when teaching about entrepreneurship.
Health care entrepreneurship has increased in many countries in recent decades and there is evidence that entrepreneurs have also a role in public health care.
Therefore the health care professionals need to be educated to have the entrepreneurial skills.
Education in the field of health care is still based on traditional forms of teaching and does not give enough attention to the issue of becoming an entrepreneur.
The data was collected from teachers (n=111) via e-mail from six Finnish polytechnics.
The data were analysed statistically and the open-ended questions were analysed via content analysis.
Approximately 23% of the teachers had taught about entrepreneurship.
The most popular teaching methods were company visits and cases, lecturing, and project work.
The courses dealt with establishing a company, entrepreneurship in general, and marketing.
Nearly all of the teachers had cooperated with the entrepreneurs or with the companies in question.
Approximately 33% of the teachers took entrepreneurship into consideration often in other courses related to entrepreneurship.
