The Healthcare Industry Association (HCIA) is committed to expanding opportunities
outside of the classroom for Columbia Business School students to learn about
the many segments of the healthcare industry. Working in close collaboration with
the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Management Program, HCIA produces a variety
of activities throughout the year. It offers members the opportunity to increase
their knowledge of the healthcare industry, expand professional networks, learn about
diverse career paths in healthcare, and secure internships, full-time opportunities,
and in-semester projects.
The healthcare-related activities broaden students’ exposure to global healthcare
practice and complement the learning that occurs in the classroom. Students interact
regularly with leading industry practitioners, many of whom are alumni, through
experiential learning opportunities in the classroom. The following events are offered
throughout the year:
Columbia Business School Annual Healthcare Conference
Healthcare Career “Supercharger”
Career Mentoring Breakfasts
“Day in the Life” Events with select corporate partners
Lunch and Learn Networking Events
Alumni Networking Events
Executive Speakers
Peer-to-Peer groups with Social Enterprise, Entrepreneurship,
Value-Investing, and others
HCIA members accept full-time and internship positions across the spectrum of
the healthcare industry. Many students are recruited into management development
rotation programs and functional positions (finance, marketing, business development,
strategic planning, etc.) at global healthcare enterprises and early-stage life sciences
and healthcare services companies. Students also obtain healthcare-focused positions
in consulting, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, and nonprofit
organizations.
