MD/MBA Opening Session

Thanks Dr. Ober for highlighting NonClinicalJobs.com this morning. I'm honored to be attending the Association of MD/MBA Programs (AMMP) 8th Annual Conference here in Cambridge/Boston. While my wife roams Boston with the kids, I'll be attending all the sessions today and writing about some of the highlights from this meeting.

Here's an interesting fact:

• In 1993, there were less than 10 MD/MBA programs.
• Currently, there are over 60 (with 4 starting now)

In fact, speaking about joint degree programs, we have the following dual-degree programs here in the United States:

• MD/PhD 122
• MD/MPH 75
• MD/MBA 60+

The room is packed this morning. I'm excited to participate in some great discussions!
