About Us
As the complexity of health care increases, a growing specialization of knowledge and professional interaction has taken root in medicine. Though the fields of policy, business, and clinical practice of health care may seem disparate or unrelated, they are viscerally intertwined on a daily basis. We believe that optimal patient care and economic outcomes result from health care professionals conversant in all dimensions of health care.
We seek to create a collaborative learning environment for professionals across all specialties and fields of health care. By providing lectures, learning materials, and networking opportunities, we hope to increase the exposure of clinicians, administrators, and business professionals to the intersection of business and medicine.
