On this week's episode of the PNC podcast, I provide 7 reasons I believe physicians should consider for completing an advanced business degree. Here they are:
- An MBA will differentiate you from your competition and demonstrate a commitment to management and leadership.
- You will be able to acquire a job that requires an advanced degree.
- In the process, you will gain important applicable skills and knowledge that complement your medical education.
- The program will bring powerful networking opportunities with faculty and other students.
- The challenge will inspire and motivate you.
- Diverse educational experiences will open up career options.
- An advanced degree will generally increase your compensation dramatically.
On the the episode, I also compare and contrast the traditional MBA with an Executive MBA, Physician Executive MBA, MMM, MHA and MPH degrees. And I discuss one poor reason to pursue an MBA or comparable degree.
