March | Healthcare: Turkey

Program Highlights

Embark on a transformative journey through Turkey’s vibrate healthcare landscape. We will be traveling to Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Ankara, engaging directly with local healthcare companies and providers, multinational pharmaceutical firms, and healthcare officials. Teams of student will be assigned to a healthcare company. Each team will tackle a real-world ‘mini’ consulting project, culminating in a live presentation to their host organization – a rewarding and memorable experience. Along the way, you will gain deep insights into Turkish culture, customs, business practices, and the healthcare system—making this an unforgettable journey of learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
