Explore how the next generation of healthcare leaders is taking shape inside and outside the classroom. Host Meredith Hirsh and Neeraj Puro, director of health administration programs at Florida Atlantic University, dive into academic trends and shifting student expectations. They break down the gap between theory and practice, why internships and mentorships matter and how personality and problem-solving skills influence career paths. Neeraj shares his journey from Mumbai to the United States, compares the Indian and American healthcare systems and explains why independent practices need more attention in health administration programs. Drawing on years of experience in higher education, he tackles artificial intelligence in the classroom, grade inflation and the pressure to keep students engaged in an online world. Listen in to how today’s students are mapping tomorrow’s healthcare landscape.
