SPONSORSHIP
The Wharton Center seeks to recruit a small number of large firms to serve as partners of the Center. These firms will be recruited from across the healthcare industry value chain spanning employers, payers, providers, distributors, and manufacturers. In short, we offer corporate members access to applied research, customized executive education programs, and assistance with recruiting within the Wharton Health Care MBA program.
Center Sponsorship
- Endowment
- Corporate Partners
- Corporate Research Sponsor
Corporate Partner, provides complete access to center resources and research findings.
Corporate Research Sponsor, is reserved for firms that wish to conduct more customized research with Wharton Center faculty and students. This membership does not provide access to the output from other Center projects and offers much more limited access to Wharton students. The fee for this membership will vary with the scope of the research project.
For both types of membership, Wharton will conduct specific research given appropriate funding and faculty/student interest.
