Why an MBA?
Healthcare is a challenging, dynamic, and rapidly evolving business.
The provision of clinical care is a highly pressured and demanding environment that requires a huge range of diverse skills, and the need to operate within strict time constraints with a limit on available resources.
For decades physicians have been leaders, acting at the forefront of clinical teams and combining their intellectual curiosity with a true desire to help those under their care.
In previous years, the business aspects of clinical medicine were largely a topic of conversation for the managers and policy makers, acting outside of the clinical forum and in parallel with the provision of care by medical staff.
But this situation has now changed. Decisions that affect the ability of clinicians to manage their own health system are being made at the highest levels of government, through complex financial modeling and analysis of healthcare delivery in a corporate sense.
The modern face of medicine requires not just physicians, but true 'physician leaders', armed with a combination of both clinical and business knowledge. In order to effectively stand up to the challenge of delivering optimal yet cost-effective healthcare, an understanding of both clinical and non-clinical aspects of medicine is now required.
An MBA may be regarded as the necessary 'bolt-on' core business education, providing accomplished physicians with the range of business skills and understanding in order to work with a consumer-driven health system. With the opportunities it offers to interact with corporate professionals and the immersion in an environment of strategic thinking, the 'average' physician can be transformed into a forward-thinking and dynamic leader, empowered to shape healthcare delivery and work within corporate role serving the interests of medicine and life sciences at the highest levels.
Our mission is to help competent doctors continue to 'make a difference' to healthcare and medicine through both clinical and corporate roles. The physician's core skills combined with a top tier MBA make for a formidable professional both in the executive boardroom and on the 'shop floor' of the hospital environment.
Capable and ambitious doctors have before them a diverse range of positions and options working both inside and outside of medicine. The journey is an exciting and transformational experience. The ticket to success starts with a top tier MBA.
