"As a physician with a background in both the academic and private practice settings, I have been directly impacted by the fractured healthcare system in the US. This course provided me valuable insights into both the current state of the healthcare industry from the vantage point of its various constituents and the innovative factors disrupting the status quo. I found the faculty to be informative and engaging. I also benefitted greatly from hearing the viewpoints of fellow attendees. I have no doubt that this course will inform my decisions as I consider a career transition within this industry." —Dr. Vashali Mankad, Navigating Health Care Trends Participant, March 2018

New Feature!

Our Navigating Health Care Trends program now features an opportunity to touch base with your faculty and fellow participants once you're back at work. You'll have the ability, through a virtual "class", to discuss any changes in the health care industry subsequent to the course, address challenges you may have applying some of the course concepts in your own organization, or share opportunities you've been able to realize by applying your new skills and capabilities.

This virtual engagement, held one to two months after the conclusion of the in-person program, is at no additional cost to you. You'll have the benefit of getting additional perspectives on issues or situations not addressed in class, as well as reconnecting with your cohort of participants.

 

Who Should Attend?

Professionals and executives in health care strategy, sales, marketing, IT, finance, patient care, or administration will gain the most from the curriculum, but the program is valuable for anyone who needs to understand how organizations prosper in the industry’s evolving landscape.

More About the Program

Get ready for three days of intensive learning from faculty, industry peers, and leading experts. Engaging in a range of lectures and small-group discussions, you'll explore how rapid shifts in the health care landscape affect sectors beyond your own and discover how peers in the industry navigate the challenges and opportunities that result.

New technologies, new competitors, and new policies create continuous change, and the course is structured to show how these dynamics upend business models and cause players to re-evaluate their approaches.
