Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Academy for International Health Studies. Healthcare in the United States is at a transitional point; this is both exciting and at times overwhelming. We are not alone in the endeavor to bring high quality, cost effective healthcare to our population. This is a world-wide focus.
For 15 years, the Academy has been organizing trade/study missions for senior U.S. healthcare executives to expand their global knowledge of healthcare. Academy participants are executives like you—leaders of health plans, insurers, providers, employers and service organizations. They represent both the private and public sectors across the United States.
During each mission, the U.S. healthcare executive participants will meet and interact with experts such as ministers of health, government officials, university professors, healthcare executives, providers and consumers from the host country. Through interactions in a collegial international setting with host country healthcare executives, the Academy participants identify potential transferrable solutions. Participants also learn more about the unique healthcare challenges that the host country faces.
In addition to interacting with the international experts, the U.S. participants also have the opportunity to network with existing colleagues and clients as well as meet new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.
Please take the opportunity to explore our sample agenda as well as some of the organizations that have been represented on past missions.
We welcome your questions and inquiries about how you or members of your organization can participate on future missions.
All the best,
Jan Berger, MD, MJ
