"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."
