It is hard to believe that the Healthcare Fellows program started 16 years ago. Over 335 passionate and ambitious professionals from the healthcare industry have participated in the program with another great group in the Class of 2021.

We asked Healthcare Fellows alumni why they joined the program and what they learned. We also asked them to fill us in on their career highlights and accomplishments since the program.

We’d love to hear from other alumni. Click the button to answer a few short questions.
