"All the resources you could possibly want are here. You need to go out and make your experience at Wharton whatever you want it to be."

On students working together:
"We see tremendous collaboration among the students, and we foster it in the health care program. We have second-year students mentor first-year students to help find summer residencies. There's also the Health Care Club that the students organize, which brings in outside speakers and hosts other activities. Our students organize the Wharton Health Care Business Conference every year. This is a tremendous collaborative effort that they manage entirely, with very little input from the faculty. The students allocate responsibilities, organize the program and invite the speakers, manage the logistics, all of that. It's a tremendous team effort."

On health care:
"Health care changes constantly. We are continually bringing in new and different topics as the real world changes. Recently we added courses on health care IT, health care entrepreneurship, and global health. Wharton is particularly strong in offering students courses in specialized areas. We are unique in having a Health Care Management department, a Real Estate department, an Insurance and Risk Management department, a Legal Studies department. We offer a greater opportunity to specialize."

On team learning:
"Work in the pharmaceutical industry or biotech is totally multidisciplinary -- it must combine understanding of new product development, research, marketing, sales, regulatory, reimbursement. So being able to work in a team is absolutely essential. Team learning pervades the first-year core experience at Wharton, so by the time students take electives in the second year, they are used to working in that environment. Part of it is efficiently dividing up the work to be done, but it's also holding each other accountable and making sure the team works as a team. They learn how to do both, and the learning experience is both richer and more fun."

On the alumni network:
"We have a very strong alumni network, so health care majors become part of a community of professionals who stay in touch with each other throughout their careers. The alumni network also serves as a job placement resource and provides a network of international contacts. It spans all areas of health care, including investment banking, consulting, providers, biotech, pharma, and IT."

On Wharton:
"We combine the best of the various tools of learning -- lecture, casework, team-based learning, practical experience. And because we're such a big school, we can offer a great breadth of specialization as well as the core curriculum. Students who want to specialize in health care or real estate or other highly technical areas can do that. All the resources you could possibly want are here. There's a wealth of opportunity, and the flexibility to tailor your learning experience. You need to go out and make your experience at Wharton whatever you want it to be."
