Welcome!
This site has been redesigned to allow you to take advantage of everything we have to offer. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your experience at this website.
This website is created for pre-meds, business undergraduates, medical students, MBA students, MD/MBA students, and physicians. Our mission is to allow past, present, and future MD/MBAs to learn about the synergy of the dual degrees, network with others, and find out about MD/MBA-specific educational experiences and career opportunities.
Additionally, we have started including resources for other dual degree students i.e. DO/MBA, DDS/MBA, DPM/MBA (Podiatry) and Physician Executive MBAs because there are no other resources on the web for them.
At the left, you will find buttons to help you navigate this site. To keep this site running, please support our sponsors listed to the right. Thank you!
