2014 MBA Health Care Conferences

Posted by Steven Ma on August 08, 2014
MBA health care conferences are an amazing opportunity to learn and network in the Health Sector. The latest topics on news articles and text books come alive and attendees are brought to the cutting edge. People who dedicate the time and energy to go to these events are also very passionate about the topic and are great to meet and talk with. 

I know that many fellow MBA students would like to attend a few of these conferences. But how many are out there, and when and where are they? I've always assumed that all the top MBA programs held a health care conference. I now share with you a comprehensive list of all the Top 20 MBA programs that have at least one annual student-run health care conference. 

The list is ranked by date, ascending. I had written a post on the first half of 2014, and now this an update for the second half of 2014. This should be helpful for returning 2nd year MBA students and 1st years.

    In reality, however, if you don't get assistance, it will be difficult to gain confidence in your public speaking abilities and hone your presentation skills. NDIS Providers Kingscliff
