MD/MBA and MD/JD

<p>Are programs like MD/MBA and MD/JD applied to after undergraduate schooling?</p>

<p>What schools have good programs?</p>

<p>Yes, you apply to them after college. Usually you will apply to the MBA or JD program after your 2nd year of medical school. Several great schools have programs such as: UMichigan, Duke, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, UPenn, Columbia, Cornell, Northwestern, UChicago, and several smaller schools also such as Texas Tech.</p>

<p>Baylor College of Medicine has both of those programs as well.</p>

<p>Are there any benefits to going to a program which offers MBA/MD? Does the MBA really make a difference as a doctor? Your thoughts would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>sure, I mean if you want to be a hospital administrator or something..</p>

<p>or if you feel you absolutely need the business background to run a private practice.</p>

<p>There's definately more potential to grow if you have the MBA along with your MD.</p>

<p>An MBA is very useful if you plan on practicing medicine. An MPH is maybe what you were thinking about for becoming a hospital administrator.</p>
