   Doctors versus MBAs

   Are the best hospitals run by medical doctors or business managers?

   The conventional wisdom is that doctors should focus on patient care, and managers with a business or administrative background are better suited to running the day-to-day operations of a hospital. Among the nearly 6,500 hospitals in the United States, only 235 are run by physicians.

   But, now new research suggests that having a doctor in charge at the top is connected to overall better patient care and a better hospital.

   MD / MBA Programs Catching On
   [Health Care is a Business]

   Under heavy pressure from government regulators and insurance companies, more and more physicians across the country are learning to think like entrepreneurs.

   But, as recently as the late 1990s, there were only five or six joint MD / MBA degree programs at the nation’s universities, said colleague Dr. Maria Y. Chandler, a pediatrician with an M.B.A. who is an associate clinical professor in the medical and business schools at the University of California, Irvine. “Now there are 65,” she said.

   Doctor-MBAs?

   I read an article in the Boston Globe about how doctors are flocking to get Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees in record numbers.

   The prestigious program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, apparently now has more students from the health care sector than any other field — accounting for almost 20 percent of the class.

   But, is it now too little – too late?

   MDs With MBAs Become Happy VIPs

   The worlds of medicine and business have been colliding for years.

   http://journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/Abstract/publishahead/The_Role_of_MD_and_MBA_Training_in_the.99046.aspx

   Now, research has found a significant increase in physicians with MBAs as docs look to advance their careers in non-clinical roles.

   Is Business School Gutting the Economy?

   Dr. Marcinko – Nearly 30 percent of undergraduates majoring in business at U.S. colleges were planning to go into finance in 2014, according to a Bloomberg Business survey of 28,000 students.

   http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/is-business-school-gutting-the-economy/ar-BBi05Ms?ocid=iehp

   Interest in finance far outstripped desire for jobs in consulting, the second most attractive industry, which drew just 11 percent of undergrad business majors. About a fifth of people leaving full time MBA programs in 2014 took jobs in finance, according to a separate survey of nearly 10,000 students.

   The finance industry was the second-most common destination for MBAs, after consulting.

   While attending college will boost your earnings by roughly a million dollars over the average lifetime, your particular major is even more important.
