  healthcare sector within the Stern community
• To serve as a recruitment connection for all
  healthcare related professions, including
  pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device
  firms as well as healthcare related professional

Alumni Spotlight"For the Stern students who had
industry background, SPHA serves as a community
through which we exchange ideas among each other
and catch up on the latest industry trends. For
the students who don't have a relevant
background, SPHA assists them to get in the door
by offering educational lectures, providing
valuable opportunities to interact with industry
professionals, and eventually improves the
understanding of different functions and broaden
career horizons."Naili An (Fiona)Business
