MBA after Medicine Career in Mangement for Doctors!!!!

MBA seems to be the most sought after post graduation option nowadays. So, if you are a doctor you must have contemplated this choice while thinking of MD or MS. There are many management specializations for medical students. If you are confused whether to change your profession as a doctor and become a manager then you should follow your aptitude. If you are very good as a doctor then you should pursue a MD or MS in the area of your interest. Or else, if you have good managerial skills then very well go for MBA where there is a lot of scope for you.

Doctors who go into management can find great jobs in hospital management and administration. There are big medical electronic companies like Philips or GE which would absorb MBA grads with a background of medicine. These companies develop products and services which can best be done by doctors. Besides, there is tremendous scope for clinical research. Doctors with management background can do a phenomenal job in terms of product development and management.

It is not necessary that you have to move away from your medical profession once you have a management degree. You can very well continue to practice. Infact, a doctor with managerial skills can provide the best treatment, which is cheapest for the patients. A MD/MBA integrated degree is very popular in the west. More and more students are showing interest in health-care management.

Considering the amount of money spent on becoming a doctor, it is necessary that you have the skills to earn as much (if not more) in as little time as possible; for which business knowledge is crucial. However good a doctor you may be, or however great your clinic is, you need patients to keep coming in and that requires planning and strategic overview of things. However, people in the medical community are not simply pursuing MBAs as a sort of one-stop shop for business education. There are also master's degrees in public health care and executive MBA programs for doctors.

AIIMS doctors protest contract basis appointments

New Delhi: The Union Health Ministry's decision to fill vacant positions at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on a contract basis has been strongly opposed by doctors at the apex institute.

Doctors at the institute say that the move is likely to affect the quality of services and education at AIIMS which currently stands out as the country's most reputed medical college and hospital.

Doctors are directly appointed at AIIMS, unlike other government hospitals, where candidates are selected through the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

"How can we have doctors on contract basis? Their commitment level will never be the same as that of our permanent doctors", said Dr. Anoop Saraya, convener of AIIMS Front for Social Consciousness (AFSC).

"If such a move comes into force, people will start coming to AIIMS just to get the required experience and then move to the private sector or start their own practice", Saraya added.

Shailesh Kumar Yadav, Deputy Director Administration at AIIMS, said "The Government's decision to fill vacant positions in hospitals is an open offer. We have not advertised anything in this regard as yet. A final decision would be taken in a general body meeting after consulting everyone at the institute".
