"What is so special about the study trip to Silicon Valley and Stanford University? Why does it make the educational experience so much stronger? Our study trip accelerated and crystalized our Healthcare MBA experience, and took us all by surprise, because first and foremost, we did not expect it to be such a transformational experience. The trip covered all aspects of the healthcare innovation ecosystem. It was also great fun and a truly bonding experience. 

We felt very special and were surrounded by sincere interest in our program and a willingness to exchange ideas. It felt like the learning experience was totally mutual; as much as we were thirsty for knowledge and information, our hosts were super curious hearing about what we were all up to."

Hanan Iserovich: "Visiting Silicon Valley was an inspiring and eye-opening academic journey. We had the unique opportunity to engage with the dynamic ‘Valley ecosystem’ — from Stanford University, which stands as the intellectual heart and academic backbone of the region, to cutting-edge biotech and pharmaceutical companies, and the venture capital firms that fuel their innovation. This trip was a remarkable chance to understand firsthand how this collaborative environment is built, sustained, and continues to thrive as a global hub for technological and scientific advancement"
