Healthcare is an exciting and important industry, growing faster than any other, and its importance to society cannot be underestimated given its focus on helping people live longer and lead happier, higher-quality lives. Working in healthcare requires knowledge and skills in several cutting-edge areas such as service delivery innovation, process and quality improvement, talent management, analytics, and supply chain management.
