Industry Connections

HSM Bootcamp with representative for industry connections pageHealth Sector Management (HSM) faculty and staff actively cultivate industry-wide connections in the global health care arena. Speaking engagements, conferences, advisory board meetings, and executive education programs provide health care executives and policymakers with multiple opportunities to exchange insight, align academic offerings with industry needs, and interact with the next generation of health care leaders.

Through these collaborations, HSM has had the opportunity to connect with industry experts who are eager to share their expertise and guidance with HSM students. Industry events, practicums, internships and other learning experiences provide students with exposure to key health sector issues and industry leadership. HSM has also been fortunate to have the opportunity to interview a number of these health sector leaders.  Read more in HSM’s Q&A with Industry Experts series.
