Peer Networking

Physicians often tell us that the experience of learning alongside a diverse group of their peers is one of the most valuable takeaways from this MBA program. Our alumni discuss challenges and career opportunities with one another for many years after graduation. Each in-person class session offers several networking opportunities to connect with one another–and with alumni–through Physician MBA workshops, guest speaker events, evening socials and other engagements.
