Careers
Rotman graduates are increasingly drawn to careers in healthcare and the life sciences. This $8-trillion global industry comes with unique management challenges that make it fertile ground for disruption and innovation.
A world of opportunity
With immense pressures for care to become more sustainable, affordable and innovative, the health sector faces incredible demands. And while healthcare organizations have capable leadership, many of these individuals lack the business knowledge required to effectively run our healthcare delivery organizations or major companies.
That shortfall has created impressive opportunities for those professionals who have the vision and appetite for risk to take on a complex industry that is evolving at a rapid pace. Rotman graduates bring their managerial expertise to help solve the most complex challenges in healthcare. They have found rewarding careers in:
- Hospitals
- Government
