Vanderbilt University and Meharry Medical College Announce Dual M.D. / MBA Degree Program
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on June 21, 2021 Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management and Meharry Medical College today announced a dual degree program in management and medicine for students at Meharry. Participating students will earn their Doctor of Medicine from Meharry and a Master of Business Administration from Vanderbilt in five years. “Healthcare professionals increasingly need the tools of business to improve healthcare outcomes,” said Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management Dean M. Eric Johnson. “We are delighted to partner with Meharry to prepare the next generation of healthcare leaders.” Dual degree students will spend their first three years at Meharry and will be able to apply to the Owen Graduate School of Management in their third year. Enrolled students will start the Vanderbilt MBA program in their fourth year and will be registered as full-time MBA students for three consecutive semesters to earn their degree after the fall semester of their fifth year. They will return to Meharry for the spring semester in their fifth year to complete their medical degree. “By partnering with the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management, our students will gain an opportunity to receive business training necessary to run a successful practice or enter into hospital administration,” said Meharry School of Medicine Interim Dean Dr. Digna Forbes. “This could ultimately diversify the pipeline of applicants for executive-level health care roles, which directly aligns with Meharry’s mission to diversify the nation’s health care workforce.” While students are enrolled at Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management, federal financial assistance is available through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Vanderbilt University Financial Aid office. All Vanderbilt MBA applications are considered for merit-based scholarships.
