I noticed that there are some DO/MBA programs out there, does anyone know anything about these? I tried looking at the individual websites to no avail. Thanks.

Here is KCUMB's DO/MBA program:

Also, make sure to check out the SDN Med Business Forum [MD/MBA, DO/MBA, DDS/MBA].

Anyone know if it is unheard of/very difficult to try and pursue an MBA after graduating from med school?

No, it wouldn't be a big deal. MBA schools almost basically require applicants to gain some work experience before really applying anyway. I think a practicing physician would be considered a good applicant, and a lot of people are able to take night classes and such to get an MBA. Doable.
