7 Top Reasons to Complete Your Business Degree

Published: April 7, 2020, 8 a.m.

On this week\u2019s episode of the PNC podcast, I provide 7 reasons I believe physicians should consider for completing an advanced business degree. Here they are:

  1. An MBA\xa0will differentiate you\xa0from your competition and demonstrate a commitment to management and leadership.
  2. You will be able to acquire a job that requires an advanced degree.
  3. In the process, you will gain important applicable skills and\xa0knowledge that complement your medical education.
  4. The program will bring powerful networking opportunities with faculty and other\xa0students.
  5. The challenge\xa0will inspire and motivate\xa0you.
  6. Diverse educational experiences\xa0will open up\xa0career options.
  7. 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.
