You should try and ask Stanford to connect you with a current student who is doing an MBA, in the Biodesign program, or just generally taking advantage of the tech space. I don't know much about it, but I think hearing from a student can help gauge how easy/hard it is to be involved in this and if it is feasible given your goals and commitments as a student! Just my two cents!
You're not going to have trouble matching to the West Coast from Yale. They have a ton of matches to Stanford/UCSF residencies every year.

That is if you are from the West Coast/did undergrad on the West Coast. Otherwise it would be easier to match to the West Coast from Stanford. Its totally possible from Yale, but understand that you will have a strong tie to the West Coast if you do your medical school out here.
I don't think there is going to be a difference between getting an MBA at Yale or Stanford and your future prospects are going to be equivalent at both these places. They both provide a top notch MD program and MBA. Personally, I would go with Yale for the P/F and chiller environment that would lend + less debt, but I wouldn't fault you if you went to Stanford. While the debt is different, I don't think it is astronomical if you went to Stanford and you would be able to pay it off fairly quickly into your career, especially if you are trying to be a C-suite MD/MBA working at a hospital or a Chief Medical Officer at some biotech/industry gig.
