“As someone coming into business with a non-traditional background as a physician, I appreciated the ability to develop myself holistically rather than being pigeonholed into a specialized MBA. I wanted to ensure I was receiving instruction not only for business but also in how to be the best for the industry and how to be an ethical leader in business and healthcare.”
