Business Administration - Medicine

Overview

How do we help you balance the two? First, we understand your medical studies will keep you busy. Your curriculum will include introductory instruction to clinical medicine, intensive studies of organ systems, neuroscience courses, clinical activities, and much more. 

For your business degree, you'll need 30 semester hours as well. You'll take such classes as Marketing Strategy, Economics for Managers, Information Technology and Business Strategy, among others. Because these are two such demanding degrees, we offer great flexibility with your schedule. For instance, while it's ideal that you begin your business classes the summer before medical school, if you've already begun your MD coursework, there are degree plans available to help you complete your MBA curriculum. Some courses may be offered at key times after your second year, and after finishing your USMLE Step 1 exam.

The dual Business Administration - Medicine degree is a unique offering designed specifically for busy medical professionals. Structured around the MD curricula, the dual program includes a concierge approach by sequencing and integrating the MBA requirements to fit within the medical program. As a UAB School of Medicine student, all dual degree participants will receive a wide array of added benefits, including:

• Automatic MBA course registration
• Professional Development Seminars
• Access to faculty mentors
• On-site tutoring
• Opportunities for hands-on learning
