About Bruin Strategy Network

Bruin Strategy Network (BSN) is a student-run consulting group at UCLA where college students work with real companies — from small startups to big Fortune-500 brands — to solve business and healthcare challenges. Members learn how to think like problem-solvers, work in 
teams, and create solutions that make an impact. BSN is made up of UCLA Bruins from many different majors and backgrounds, and everyone gets training, mentorship, and a supportive community. It’s also backed by a strong network of alumni who help members succeed in their careers.

Make an Impact

Calling all future healthcare leaders and problem-solvers! The UCLA BSN Healthcare Consulting Competition invites students from every background to tackle some of today’s most pressing challenges in global health, biotech, and healthcare strategy.

polished consultants—what matters is your curiosity, strategic insight, and vision for impact. Whether you’re passionate about public health, technology, or business strategy, join us and experience what it means to think—and act—like a healthcare consultant on the global stage.
