Dr. Marcinko and ME-P Readers,
My name is Joshua Goldman and I am a 5th year MD/MBA student at the University of Southern California. The MD/MBA department at USC is conducting a study investigating the utility of the MD/MBA combined degree. People always ask, “What can you do with an MD/MBA?” We hope to better answer that question through a comprehensive look at MD/MBA graduates now working in industry. And, we would love to include and the experiences of your ME-P readership in our research.
Online Survey
We have designed a simple online survey that takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. The link to the survey is included below. If you have any colleagues or ME-P readers who have completed an MD and an MBA, it would be wonderful if you could forward them this e-mail, as well. We hope to publish our findings in a number of journals this spring and have been asked to present our results at this year’s Annual MD/MBA Conference. If you would like to receive a copy of our final manuscript, let us know and we will ensure you receive a copy in the spring jtgoldman@gmail.com
Take the Survey
Thank you for your help and support and we look forward to hearing from you!

Joshua,
We are pleased to post your request for our dual degreed readers to respond, and add the following points of consideration for future R&D:
1. Include DOs [oteopaths], DPMs [podiatrists] and DDS/DMDs [dentists].
2. Distinguish between using the MBA to augment, or exit, a medical career.
3. Be psychometrically constructed to reduce bias.
4. Realize that MD/MBA utility today, versus a decade ago, is much diminished.
5. Practical alternatives to the MBA include the http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.com program.
We would be pleased to post your final R&D results, and professional publication, upon completion. Best wishes.
Fraternally
Hope

Dear Josh,
You are far too young/elitist not to include the DO/MBA degree holders. Hope is correct, in the comment above. And, please do not remain unenlightened; like this reporter.
