Harvard Business School has a great MBA program for healthcare because it is so flexible. It can help students who are interested in healthcare prior to HBS as well as those who become interested in healthcare during business school. Most importantly, the HBS MBA program does not lock you into an industry track; it allows you to have flexibility as you explore different career paths. As a former Air Force officer, I chose healthcare because I was interested in working in the private sector while still focusing on helping others. For me, the medical device industry is ideal. It combines my engineering background, my interest in business and a desire to give back to the community. As someone who is completely new to healthcare, I have learned a great deal. One of my favorite programs was the Health Science and Business Immersion program. In one week I was able to get an amazing overview of the multifaceted world of healthcare and get insight into the latest issues surrounding the healthcare system. My goal after graduation is to work in marketing or business development for a medical device firm.
