Here's a few different questions. Any advice helps. Thanks.
First off, is there resource that shows some career-paths that other MD/MBA's have taken. I'd like to look at the paths of people with similar interests to get some inspiration on where to begin.
Before I came to medical school, I worked in Business Development at an ACO. I really loved the work and have become fascinated in policy, cost-cutting, and the interface between healthcare and technology (EMR). I have a tentative offer to work for a large ACO this summer, is that something I should go for, or is research more important?
As far as MD/MBA...
A few weeks ago, my med school gave a presentation on its MD/MBA program. Unfortunately, my school's program is associated with a no-name business school. Is it worth waiting it out and applying to a better MBA program (maybe during/after residency)? Also, I was not a business major in college. Is it important to take some econ courses before applying?
