Buisnes as premed

<p>Would buisness be a good premed major?</p>

<p>If your going to run your on practice if you become a doctor, then yeah.</p>

<p>any one else have a thought???</p>

<p>i'm curious as well...i was thinking about minoring in business or doing a double major in bio and business. i think its a great idea if i expect to have my own office and deal with insurance, etc. what does everyone else think?</p>

<p>Have you considered a career in hospital management?</p>

<p>that might be kinda rough.. business and bio double major.. well guess it depends on where you go..</p>

<p>This thread from the Cornell forum addresses the same question. You might be interested in reading it:

<p>My ex-stepmom started out as a nurse and is now a VP in a hospital making close to 200k. She just had an article written about her:

<p>It just shows how much hard work can get you, for it is not typical for a nurse to rise in the ranks like that i believe.</p>

<p>You can also do premed with business at Wharton. I had a bunch of classmates who did that and are now in med school. </p>

<p>There is also a new program at Penn that combines Wharton and pre-med. It's called the Vagelos program. I don't know much about it but someone made a post about it in the Penn section and mentioned that it's on the application.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of other programs like the Wharton Penn program? It sounds like it's worth some digging. Thanks Whartonalum!</p>
