<p>I know that you can do an joint MD/MBA with the 2+2 program. But can i use that first "2" years to be in harvard med school??
Because the 5 year joint md mba works like this: M M M B M/B
(M=med school, B=biz school)
So can those first 2 years (or 2 and 3rd year) somehow be used for the first 2 in "2+2"?</p>
<p>The two years of work experience has to be work experience that is approved by the school, and I believe you go through the school to set it up. Med school will not be appropriate and will most likely not be approved for that period of time.</p>
<p>This is something you would probably want to contact the 2+2 program directly about.
It is my understanding that the 2+2 program does allow a lot of flexibility in what you do during your 2 years before HBS, and you are not limited to HBS’s recruiting contacts. </p>
<p>However you are required to be working, (i.e. actually employed by someone full-time) for (I believe) at least one of the two years, so medical school would probably not be approved for the full period of time.</p>
<p>Again, you’ll want to probably call the admissions office to talk about such a special case.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Get in, first. Everything else is the acceptance package. But yes it’s two years of full-time work.</p>
