Most importantly, it was a well-crafted cohort that was able to bring diverse experiences and share openly to enrich relationships and discussions. The faculty taught current and relevant content while encouraging a two-way dialogue so we could go deeper into concepts. As someone who got my MBA some time ago, it was a great refresher on key management and leadership concepts combined with healthcare-specific trends, challenges and opportunities. The days were packed but very well organized to ensure both learning and connection!
