About the Symposium
The 2015 AUPHA Global Symposium will link participants with shared interests in Global Healthcare Management education. It’s an excellent chance for participants teaching both domestically and abroad to enhance their skills, service, and research. Presenters will share case studies of successful partnerships between universities in the United States and international programs. AUPHA members will have an opportunity to network with members of organizations from around the globe. While the focus of this Symposium is on the global education of healthcare management students, it will avoid the “silo” of a narrow definition of healthcare management and will include presentations from many academic disciplines, reflecting a broad definition of healthcare management. Participants will exchange ideas on teaching, development of curriculum and courses, research, and developing and sustaining partnerships.
