The University of Miami School of Business offers a joint MD/MBA degree program in partnership with the University’s Miller School of Medicine. The business curriculum prepares future physicians for the business complexities related to running a private medical practice or heading a group practice, as well as prepare medical students for careers in health sector management, leadership and policy.

The MD/MBA program adds an additional year to the four-year medical school curriculum. The MBA coursework ranges from financial reporting and corporate strategy to the legal aspects of health administration.

Questions about the MD portion of the program should be directed to Associate Dean Mark O'Connell, M.D., at the Miller School of Medicine, MOConnell@med.miami.edu , while questions about the MBA portion should be directed to Admission Advisors at the School of Business Administration, 305-284-2510 or mba@miami.edu
