The Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Management Program (HPM) sponsors and organizes a variety of events that offer unparalleled access to business leaders and insights into the most cutting edge trends in healthcare. Through a robust schedule of speakers, symposia, and special events focused current healthcare business trends, the Healthcare Program is your gateway to the people and ideas that are transforming the global healthcare market.
Annual CBS Healthcare Conference
The annual Columbia Business School Healthcare Conference is co-hosted by HPM and HCIA. Always a highlight of the year, the event attracts hundreds of CBS students, alumni, faculty, industry executives, entrepreneurs and professionals from across the healthcare ecosystem.
Student Events
HPM brings healthcare CEOs, industry thought leaders, investors and executives to campus throughout the year to discuss their careers and provide current perspectives. Students connect with these leaders over breakfast, lunch-time conversations or evening panels. These events broaden students’ exposure to healthcare trends and complement the learning that occurs in the classroom. HPM works closely with the HCIA student club to organizes excursions to potential employers - site visits in the New York area and an annual trek to San Francisco during Winter Break to visit West Coast healthcare companies.
