The Healthcare Initiative at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business serves as a center of gravity for the diverse disciplines that engage in healthcare research at Booth, and facilitates collaboration with partners across the university.
Through rigorous research and interdisciplinary collaboration between faculty members, policymakers, industry leaders, alumni, and current students, we bring analytical and humanistic approaches to bear to make a positive impact on the healthcare industry.
We are a community of faculty members, policymakers, industry leaders, alumni, and current students applying analytical, empirical, and humanistic approaches to improve the healthcare sector.
