Graduates of the Wharton Health Care Management Program are fortunate to be part of a small, close-knit group within Wharton. The Wharton Health Care Management Alumni Association (WHCMAA) aims to extend that experience beyond graduation and throughout our graduates’ careers.
The WHCMAA has been in existence for over thirty years and currently has more than 640 active members. Members span the healthcare field including: CEOs of large medical centers, healthcare policy makers, executives in medical product companies, and top industry consultants. The WHCMAA hosts events for members around the globe. We also host combined events with regional Alumni Associations and Clubs in Boston, NY, NJ, Philadelphia, and Northern California.
