1st Annual Medical Tourism Research Summit
The medical tourism industry has demonstrated a promising growth curve, and the industry has shown resilience even in the face of the recent economic downturn. However, it has received little in the way of academic research attention. In an effort to redress this lack of research, the Medical Tourism Association is bringing together scholars from around the world to share their research and collaborate in order to overcome challenges, identify areas that are lacking research and establish partnerships for the future.

Marketing & Business Development Track
The medical tourism industry has demonstrated a promising growth curve, and the industry has shown resilience even in the face of the recent economic downturn. However, many healthcare professionals lack the basic marketing and business development skills to increase their patient flow and compete in this rapidly growing industry.

- Social Media Marketing
- Website Optimization
- Word of Mouth Marketing
- Selling to the C-Suite
- Marketing Healthcare Services to Employers
- Balanced Scorecard Techniques
