“I wanted students to have an opportunity to hear from people who are in the middle of leading efforts at transformation and change. It was important to us that the MBA students walked out of the experience feeling as if they had heard a diversity of ideas and opinions, and the context of culture within multiple healthcare systems.”
— Patrick Runnels, MD, MBA, Associate Chief Medical Officer of Population Health, University Hospitals
“I loved being able to spend time in person with my cohort. Collaborating with our group, sharing meals and having those spontaneous interactions that occur when a large group comes together kept the energy upbeat throughout the residency. I look forward to the next one.”
