Study Tour to the Bay Area, USA

A one-week (optional) study tour to the Silicon Valley and Stanford University will be offered, during which students will get acquainted with the region's health ecosystem such as healthcare organizations, startups, incubators, venture capitals, Stanford innovation programs such as Bio-design, D-School, BioX, Stanford new hospitals and more. Participants will gain 2 credits (in addition to the 52 credits of the program). All academic activities during the tour are funded by the program. All other expenses (flight, accommodation, food, etc.) are financed by the students.

"What is so special about the study trip to Silicon Valley and Stanford University? Why does it make the educational experience so much stronger? Our study trip accelerated and crystalized our Healthcare MBA experience, and took us all by surprise, because first and foremost, we did not expect it to be such a transformational experience. The trip covered all aspects of the healthcare innovation ecosystem. It was also great fun and a truly bonding experience. 

We felt very special and were surrounded by sincere interest in our program and a willingness to exchange ideas. It felt like the learning experience was totally mutual; as much as we were thirsty for knowledge and information, our hosts were super curious hearing about what we were all up to."

Annie Kaufman, Class 1 student
