3.12) Can you tell me about combined MD/MBA programs?
Ten schools offer the combined MD/MBA program. They are: UCLA,
U. of Chicago-Pritzker, U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
Dartmouth, Wake Forest, Case Western, Allegheny, Jefferson, U of
Pennsylvania, and Vanderbilt. This list of schools, with direct
links to them, can be found at
<http://www.aamc.org/students/applying/programs/mdmba.htm>. Many
programs run as two years of medical school, one year of graduate
(MBA) school, then a return to medical school for the final two
years of medical curriculum and completion of MBA material, for a
total of five years. However, there are variances in application
processes and program details. For example, UCLA opens its program
only to third-year UCLA medical students, who then take a year off
for the MBA program and complete the MBA program during the fourth
year of medical school. Application procedures vary by school, so
your best bet is to contact the admissions department directly and
ask for information on the program.
