I'm a first year. I want to go into clinical pharmacy, and then work my way into administration (director of pharmacy) , I don't wanna jump into an administrative position (ex pharmacy manager, or assistant director) I'm pretty sure I wanna practice clinical pharmacy in a hospital for a few years. I've been told that an MBA will definetly help me to land that director job when i decide i want it. Do you think someone in my position should work on the MBA while I'm in pharmacy school? My school offers a manegment pathway which would let me finish up alsmost half of the MBA while i'm in pharm school and the courses would count towards my pharm D as well. I'd be able to finish up almost all of the rest of the courses online from anywhere in the country. What you guys think? I think it'd be nice to finish it up as quick as possible and the thought of going back to school after i've been working doesn't appeal to me. However I don't feel I'll be using the MBA degree much at first since like I said I wanna practice as a clinical pharmacist for a few years. What would you do if you were in my position? Work on the MBA in pharm school or wait till later?
thanks
