The acceptability of Healthcare Management as a professional profession, which is among the specific fields of management science, is becoming more widespread in the world and in Turkey. The basis for the acceptance of a job as a professional profession is the indicators related to undergraduate and postgraduate education given in higher education institutions. In the study, it is aimed to reveal the current situation of health management undergraduate education in universities affiliated to the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) on the basis of university, academician and student. The data are obtained by examining the Higher Education Undergraduate Program Atlas (YÖK Atlas) and Higher Education Information Management System (YÖK Statistics) databases and the web pages of the relevant universities. As of 2022, 86 universities that are determined to provide undergraduate education in the field of health management affiliated to YÖK are included in the research. When the findings are examined, it is seen that undergraduate education in the field of health management is mainly offered in public universities and within the faculty of health sciences; students prefer public universities in metropolitan cities; the majority of the universities that receive students with the highest scores are the departments of foundation universities with full scholarship; the majority of 553 academic staff in the field have the title of assistant professor; about half of the students are students who have been placed in the university for the first time; the number of graduates shows a significant increasing trend. These findings reveal that both the university, academic and student capacity of the health management undergraduate program show an increasing trend every year. It is thought that the study would provide data for future planning by revealing the situation regarding the healthcare management department.
