Ross alum Betty Chu (MBA ’13) is the chief medical officer and vice president of medical affairs for Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, a role that not only requires a deep understanding of the medical field, but strong business fundamentals, well-developed leadership skills, and a few lessons from Mom.

On Nov. 4, Chu will share some of her insight with the Ross community during a conversation with Michigan Business Women.

At the event, which starts at 5 p.m. in the fourth-floor Rackham Amphitheater, Chu will discuss the benefits of being a woman in a male-dominated industry (MBW says that only 19 percent of hospital CEOs are women), and the obstacles she’s encountered on her rise to the C-suite.

“Lessons From My Mother: A Conversation With Ross Alum Dr. Betty Chu” is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

This event is sponsored by the United Asian American Medical Student Association; Michigan Business Women; Females Excelling More in Math, Engineering, and Science; Women in Science and Engineering; and the American Medical Association.
