Hi guys. I am just starting out my residency in Ophthalmology. I have been interested in getting an MBA for a while now. My program helps out with tuition fees for MBA programs.

1. Is an MBA degree helpful in the long run? For private practice management, future administrative positions etc?

2. If yes, would I be able to manage the workload if I start MBA classes in my first year of training or should I wait until the second year when things cool down a bit? I have to pay less out of pocket if I spread it over 3 years instead of 2.

Thanks for your help.
