I feel immensely equipped from this program.
I would call the faculty world-class. They really bring their own real world experiences and make it very applicable. And working with the other students was just a joy and a pleasure. Not only that, it was challenging, because we all came from different backgrounds. It was just a fantastic program.Mick Krasner, MD, Spring 2025Co-Chief Medical Officer, EmPRO Insurance
If I had to put my finger on what I loved, it was the fact that exchanges were bidirectional. The faculty took the time to listen. It's definitely not a dry lecture.
