Prior work experience/business courses?

What are the chances of a person being accepted into a MD/MBA if they do not have prior work experience (relating to business) or any exposure to business classes in undergrad? I know that having prior work experience is normally very important in getting accepted to a MBA program, but I wasn't sure if the standards were lowered for dual degree applicants.

I would think that atleast some coursework or experience would be prefered. I think the standards are probably lowered but they are not nonexistent. Most places they are competitive programs to get into so I think either of those would secure your spot.

from what I know: work experience is a plus, business classes in undergrad is iffy whether or not that matters, GMAT and MCAT are basically the bottom line when it comes to most of these joint programs it seems.
