“I decided to pursue a joint M.D./M.B.A. degree in order to learn the managerial and operational skills to become a highly competent physician leader. I am interested in health-care systems and health-care delivery with particular attention to underserved populations. Our health-care system is complex and constantly evolving and I believe a joint degree will equip me with the necessary knowledge and skill set to create effective change.”

"I plan to pursue a career in clinical medicine, healthcare delivery reform, and system management. In the U.S., healthcare delivery is ineffective. I strive to change that reality—to advance access to vulnerable populations, to improve outcomes and to create a sustainable financial model. For reform to be realized, pioneers must be at the frontline. An MBA is the practical application of my interest in improving healthcare delivery; in conjunction with my medical degree, it will position me to close the gap between delivery research and clinical practice. Moreover, the dual-degree will equip me with broader leadership, management and communication skills, positioning me to be a more effective team member and a greater force in improving healthcare."

As a pediatrician, the skills I am learning in this program will help me to take both a clinical and a business approach toward achieving in my goal of improving the health of our children today to lessen the total burden of disease of adults in the future."
