Under the leadership of Michael Dickstein, associate professor of economics, Stern has launched a new Healthcare Initiative, putting an official stake in the ground in this area. With roughly one in five dollars of spending in the U.S. going toward healthcare, this sector represents a sizable portion of the economy.

Beginning with MBA coursework, research, and community efforts, the Healthcare Initiative has ambitions to grow over time, supporting students, as well as alumni, interested in using the tools of business to make an impact in this dynamic sector.
