The opportunities one has as a Harvard Business School student are remarkable. You learn from incredible professors and classmates and there are many alumni and staff members to turn to when looking for internships and jobs. There are so many resources to access. HBS has created an environment perfect for learning and the facilities are amazing.
I attended the Healthcare Immersion Program in January and got a thorough overview of the science, business opportunities, and ethical issues of specific disease areas. It was particularly useful for me since I don't have a science background or industry experience. Healthcare is an interesting industry for a few reasons: its growth potential given an aging population, its importance to the economy, and the fact that it has a meaningful impact on people's lives. I'd like to join an established medical device company for several years, gain some experience in launching new products, and then start my own medical device company or join a start-up. I'm particularly interested in launching products in emerging markets. Further down the road, I'd like to get back into global public health and improve products and distribution systems in developing countries. |
