HealthCare Management Society

The Healthcare Management Society unites students in the Healthcare Management major or minor and those who simply have an interest in healthcare.

Members come and listen to presentations from top industry experts and professionals from all areas of the field, ranging from consulting, healthcare IT, hospital administration, and insurance. They can attend networking events with fellow students as well as healthcare professionals who aid in career development. Students also further their healthcare knowledge by attending conferences and meetings on current events and emerging healthcare topics.
