Pharm D/MBA questions

[GatorPrePharm]

Hi, I was wondering who out there has obtained both a Pharm D. and an MBA and how it has shaped your career path? Did it open more doors, if so what were they? Did it merely open these doors or do you find yourself continuously applying the skills you learned in business school in your current job. Also, if you don't mind sharing where you received your MBA from I would appreciate it too. Thanks and hope to hear from some people out there.

did it open doors? in the non pharm area, oh yea, i could find jobs (i'll be making my post on this to post later)

in the pharm world? not so much since you still need the work experience (or residency) to get those management spots

if some1 wants to do the mba, id recommend pharm school, residency, then get a spot, and work on the mba part time....however, you look at that time, effort, money spent in those 7-9 years, and you have to wonder if its worth it? (you could make the argument that time couldve been spent elsewhere education wise, med school for ex)
