Healthcare Business Association (HBA)

The Healthcare Business Association (HBA) aims to provide professional connections and education to students interested in the business of health care. Whether members are interested in health care products (e.g., pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device) and/or services (e.g., consulting, provider, payor), the HBA’s offerings prepare members for successful recruitment and careers in health-related fields. Additionally, the HBA prepares members who are interested in the intersection of health care with other disciplines, such as technology, finance, operations and entrepreneurship. The HBA’s goal is to be the nexus for the health care industry in Southern California and a beacon for the rest of the world.
