MD/MBA in Health Management

To improve our MD/MBA program, we've begun a major reorganization of our curriculum. Our first summer will now begin later (June 25) and will be centered around a Major Field Experience at one of Boston's finest health care institutions. While continuing to take courses in management basics at Brandeis University, students will spend nearly half their time working with executives and managers in a hands-on exploration of cutting edge health care. If you have not yet applied, please file your application as soon as possible. Questions? Please email or call one of us today!

The business of health care is a critical feature of medicine today.

To prepare physicians to be leaders in health care management, Tufts created the combined M.D./M.B.A. in Health Management program in 1994 in partnership with Northeastern University's Graduate College of Business Administration and Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management. Since that time, 85 students have graduated with the combined degree and are pursuing spectrum of clinical and leadership interests.

Tufts Medical school is known for its combined-degree programs. In 1994, the school already had well established M.D./PhD. and M.D./M.P.H. programs. Since then, the medical school has created three more dual-degree programs, combining an M.D. degree with degrees in engineering, law and diplomacy. The intense, simultaneous study of medicine, business, and health care systems allows for integration of perspectives and data that otherwise would be difficult to achieve.

Pioneering hallmarks of the Tufts' program--now one of more than 50 M.D./M.B.A. programs offered by United States medical school--include its four-year timeframe, partnership with two other universities, and emphasis on exposing students on working health care managers.

ADMISSIONS

MD/MBA applicants may apply via the online TUSM secondary application at any time during the application cycle. (Space is limited in the program so applying early is recommended.) Students are reviewed by the MBA committee after they are offered admission to the medical school. Please note that the GMAT is not required for entrance into the MD/MBA program.
