"The program exceeded my expectations. It was a remarkably intensive overview of the latest developments in running health care organizations. The sessions on disruptive developments-smaller upstarts versus established institutions-and on managing change were particularly enlightening for me. After attending, I have a better understanding of the key trends in health care governance, as well as a greater appreciation of how difficult managing change can be."
