Hey Folks,
I'm kind of interested in pursuing an MD/MBA, but the more I look into it, I'm having trouble seeing the benefits of an MBA. It seems to me that if you really want to focus on the business side, its hard to see patients and practice medicine. On the other hand, those with MD/MBAs that see patients don't seem to do anything significantly different than the regular MDs...So I ask you, is the extra year of school only for the MBA title, and what are the benefits/options of an MD/MBA? Thanks all and goodluck!
