MHA/MD Concurrent Degree
MHA and MD Concurrent Degree
Some students seeking medical degrees may wish to enhance their skills to include those necessary for management and policy roles within medicine. Students who are currently enrolled in medical school, as well as students intending to apply, can pursue concurrent MHA and MD degrees. Concurrent students can expect to use their degrees either to broaden their perspectives as practicing clinicians, or to take on a different role such as manager of a clinical department within a health care organization, medical director of a public program (e.g., Medicaid), policy advisor to a clinical or professional organization, or consultant.
The concurrent program takes five years to complete, at which time students receive both a MD and a MHA. Faculty of both programs are actively involved in the advising and mentoring of concurrent students.
If you are considering this concurrent degree or have questions, please contact the MHA Program Office.
