The conference, The Business of Health Care Post Election, is the sixth in an annual series of premier health care impact conferences hosted by the Center for Health Sector Management and Policy at the university's School of Business Administration. It will explore the anticipated health care policy changes under the Trump administration, the impact of these changes on the health care sector nationally and in South Florida, and the impact on global health care issues.

"This will be a great opportunity to learn about what we can expect the U.S. health care system to look like moving forward and what it means for business."

The conference, presented by Florida Blue, draws professionals from across business and government. Attendees include those working within the industries of health care, health care delivery and health care policy and administration, as well as business leaders and other professionals in the finance, technology, legal, marketing, government and public policy, and academic sectors.
