OVERVIEW

HLS delivers a diverse platform of opportunities and activities through which Ross students can learn about healthcare and prepare to succeed in the healthcare industry.

HLS organizes academic, professional, and social activities for all Ross students who are interested in exploring opportunities in the different sectors of health care.  Our club represents a broad group of students with a focus on a future career in the health care industry, and includes students from full and part-time MBA students as well as those pursuing a degree in other graduate programs, such as medicine, public health, and biomedical engineering. Our events are entirely student organized and consistently well-attended, including resume reviews, mock interviews, corporate guest speakers, and the HLS Forum, which attracts over 250 attendees and 20 industry-leading panelists and speakers.

  Opportunities for Partnership
From early-September through May, the HLS Club presents a range of opportunities for company representatives to interact with students. We offer a variety of events and look forward to co-creating new ones that best fit your company’s needs.

 
Corporate Presentations
 
Corporate Presentations
Corporate Presentations are conducted at Ross from September through December in conjunction with resume reviews and mock interviews. They often serve to provide the firm initial exposure to the MBA1’s and can be used to gauge interest for the upcoming recruiting season. The HLS Club will work with the Office of Career Development to establish a date, time, and location for your firm’s corporate presentation.

Resume Reviews
Resume Reviews
Resume reviews are typically conducted by the sponsoring firm at the Ross School of Business on the same day as scheduled office hours, corporate presentations, or information sessions. A room or private area is reserved, and a representative from the sponsoring firm discusses the students’ background and outlines areas for improvement of their resumes in 30 minute time slots. Resume reviews provide the firm exposure to the students and give the firm an initial glimpse into the qualifications of the upcoming recruiting class.
         
Mock Interviews
 
   
Mock Interviews
Mock interviews are typically conducted by the sponsoring firm at the Ross School of Business on the same day as scheduled office hours, corporate presentations, or information sessions. A room is reserved and a representative from the sponsoring firm conducts the mock interview and provides feedback to the students about the interview for future improvement in 30 to 60 minute time slots. Over-the-phone mock interviews can also be arranged.

West Coast Forum
