About the Stanford Health Care Club!

The Stanford Health Care Club (HCC) is the primary life science and health care industry-oriented student organization at Stanford. We are headquartered at the Graduate School of Business, but our membership is interdisciplinary and drawn from the breadth of Stanford's graduate schools including MBA, MD, JD, and PhD/postdoctoral programs.

Our mission is to build networks that will help Stanford students explore, pursue and continue careers in businesses related to health care and the life sciences, including biotechnology & genomics, health care, pharmaceuticals, health care information technology (e-health), medical technology, venture capital, public/private equity investing, consulting, and investment banking.

Major HCC events include:

  • Networking Event. Our flagship event, the Networking Event brings together industry leaders and members of the Stanford community to discuss critical and current issues in health care and life sciences. This is a great chance for alumni and students to discuss current issues together.
  • Alumni Dinner Series. During the year, HCC organizes and sponsors events at Stanford featuring leading alumni and industry representatives. Events take a variety of formats, primarily small group dinners, presentations, and lectures. Topics covered range from company-specific presentations, industry panels (e.g., venture capital), and career panels (e.g., representative summer internships). Events happen periodically throughout the school year.
