Interested in a future career in healthcare? Choose the best MBA program for you with the help of Clear Admit’s Career Guide to Healthcare, a great resource from our brand new line of career-focused guides! This guide is directed toward prospective applicants hoping to work for companies like Aetna, Kaiser Permanente, Medco Health Solutions or Pacific Healthcare; or who are thinking about healthcare-focused positions in industries like venture capital, consulting, or investment banking. Applicants looking to pursue careers in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices will also benefit from this guide, as they typically participate in MBA healthcare programs as well.
With 44 pages of detailed information on the top MBA programs with a focus on healthcare, this guide makes it easy for prospective students to:
- Compare academic and extracurricular offerings at each school in order to narrow down where to apply
- Write meaningful essays and prepare for interviews based on the guide’s specialized information about each program
- Make an informed decision about which school to attend based on academics, career placement, and other deciding factors
Prospective students can also use the Clear Admit Guide to Healthcare to learn about student-run healthcare clubs at each school, recruiting for internships and jobs, and the academic offerings at the top MBA programs. Although many leading business schools do not offer a formal course of study in healthcare:
“Of those that do, Fuqua’s Certificate in Healthcare Management and Wharton’s Health Care Management Major are generally the best known. . . The Health Management Certificate at Haas and the Health Enterprise Management Major at Kellogg are two of the other formal academic healthcare programs with strong track records of helping students secure employment in the industry.”
The guide contains sixteen school profiles with exclusive insight into academics, extracurriculars, and career services. For example, several school profiles offer a “course spotlight” describing a highlighted class, like the Entrepreneurship in Biotechnology course at University of California Berkeley’s Haas Business School:
“Associated with the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, this course is designed for both future entrepreneurs and those students interested in working for a biotechnology or medical devices startup. The course explores the challenges in starting a life sciences company, provides an overview of the industry, and teaches students to recognize the opportunities for funding. Students gain insights into working with venture capitalists, bringing ideas to the clinic, and tackling business development and strategic partnering. Students have the opportunity to work on their own entrepreneurial endeavors and meet with life-science entrepreneurs during the course.”
