About the Program

If you aspire to become a licensed physician with the business skills to manage organizations, corporate practices, hospitals and more, a dual Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Case Western Reserve University is the ideal fit.

Offered jointly between our School of Medicine and Weatherhead School of Management, this five-year dual-degree program is designed to teach you management principles and prepare you for leadership roles that translate between varying and increasingly complex healthcare environments.

What to Expect

In the MD/MBA program, we curate leaders who excel at critical, creative communications across business and healthcare settings. Our curriculum will encourage you to reach beyond simple problem solving and create innovative solutions to revitalize issues facing our healthcare system. You will leave Case Western Reserve University a competent analyst who can develop strategies to secure sustainable business practices in the healthcare industry.

Combining your MD degree with an MBA unlocks more career opportunities, allowing you to secure roles in:

  • Healthcare consultation
  • Hospital administration
  • Hospital operations
  • Pharmaceutical and medical device management
  • Family practice management

Plus, you’ll save time (and money) as an MD/MBA student, with an opportunity to complete your graduate-level coursework in just five years rather than earning each degree independently.

I love the intimacy of Weatherhead. The faculty and staff are so engaged and willing to know the students regardless of where they are in their life path. They're here to help and I recognized that very early on.”
