These conferences are truly made up of a cross-section of business, academics and visionaries … it is the true differentiator from other conferences which I attend. The world is changing dramatically, and there is no right answer for any given situation. The HSM forums allow everyone in attendance to be heard and be engaged.

The Health Sector Management (HSM) program and Master of Management in Clinical Informatics (MMCi) program bring leaders together to discuss critical health sector topics and to provide impetus for positively shaping the global health care community. In addition to strengthening relationships between HSM and leading health-related organizations, these conferences expose HSM and MMCi students to issues beyond the classroom.
HSM-sponsored industry events focusing on health informatics, clinical outcomes, and medical devices bolster student recruitment activities and triggered actions that have reverberated throughout the health care community. Students who participate and/or serve as conference aides, continually rate the conferences highly in terms of their opportunity to interact with speakers, panelists, and distinguished attendees.
