<p>I was a Japanese/Econ major and I went to the University of Arizona. They sent me to Japan and I studied at the famous Kansai Gai Dai (Kansai University of Foreign Languages) paying in-state AZ tuition for this expensive private school. The UofA is well known for its university hospital and medical center. I then went on to get my MBA in International Management at Thunderbird [International</a> Business School MBA Rankings - Thunderbird Global School of Management](<a href=“http://www.thunderbird.edu/about_thunderbird/rankings/index.htm]International”>http://www.thunderbird.edu/about_thunderbird/rankings/index.htm) and my Japanese was considered so advanced that they waived my language requirement. The UofA launched my career as an international businessman and I’ve done extensive business in Japan as well as 25 other countries.</p>
<p>My point? ANY major research university that offers a medical degree will get you where you want to go. Schools that I recommend are University of Washington, UCLA, UCB, UCSD – in fact pretty much any UC, Stanford (several of my colleagues at Kansai Gai Dai came from there and I always found it amusing that I was getting the same education as them in Japan at a fraction of the cost as we all paid tuition to our home institutions as exchange students). Here is a link for Dual Degree programs with Thunderbird that include the University of Colorado at Denver as well. This list of schools is on the second page. <a href=“http://www.thunderbird.edu/wwwfiles/pdf/graduate_degrees/dual_degree_mba_and_mgm/dual_mba_and_mgm.pdf[/url]”>http://www.thunderbird.edu/wwwfiles/pdf/graduate_degrees/dual_degree_mba_and_mgm/dual_mba_and_mgm.pdf</a> Any of these should have extensive language programs and Econ – possibly pre med too.</p>
