This year we will continue to tackle issues on the frontier of healthcare and discuss key industry trends around evolving healthcare payment models, AI-driven drug discovery, innovation and consumerization in healthcare, and scaling healthcare access to underserved communities.
This year’s conference will also include a start-up expo and a networking reception with students, alumni, and industry professionals.
