Effect of an MBA on Residency Application Process?

<p>They do offer MBAs that have Health Care Administration (or something along that line) concentration within the MBA. And I would think an MPH would complement, although they tend to concentrate on global/public health aspect with not so much of the economics aspect.</p>

<p>Son’s senior thesis was on healthcare economics (public/private) and as a result he is looking forward well past residency to what the complexities of medicine will be. Not so much the earning potential but rather policy and the coming changes to healthcare.</p>

ps I tried to read all 200+ pages and understood very little, especially all the formulas…but what I did take away is it is very detailed and complex and will need deep understanding of actual medicine/science and math/economics and the ability to devise a plan to make it all work.</p>

<p>I think this is why he is pursuing the MBA/MPH.</p>
