\"IU<\/a>To address the leadership needs of a rapidly changing healthcare system, Indiana University Kelley School of Business<\/strong> has launched the \"Business of Medicine MBA\" to prepare practicing physicians nationwide to assume unprecedented management roles.<\/p>\n

The specialized two-year program will begin in September 2013, delivered as a hybrid \u2013 50 percent online, 50 percent through weekends in residence. This approach recognizes the demands on physicians\u2019 time. By combining residential and online experiences, students receive the professional interaction central to a full MBA experience, while ensuring the program is accessible to physicians anywhere in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The new degree incorporates a curriculum similar to the Kelley School\u2019s full- and part-time programs with the addition of specialized courses and electives. The curriculum centers on six healthcare themes \u2013 collaboration, innovation, analytics, transformation, optimization and sustainability \u2013 that address new types of clinical leadership and new business models.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Business of Medicine MBA bridges what has been the traditional divide between management and physicians on the front lines of care,\u201d says Idalene Kesner<\/strong>, interim dean of the Kelley School of Business. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith this degree, physician leaders will emerge with the full skillset to transform individual institutions, the broad healthcare field and, most important, patient outcomes.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The program will be taught by the Kelley School faculty, including those from the school\u2019s Center for the Business of Life Sciences<\/a>.\u00a0 Kelley Direct, Kelley Executive Partners \u2013 the Kelley School\u2019s executive education arm \u2013 and Kelley\u2019s part-time MBA program are all involved. Program participants will maximize the use of mobile technology in the learning experience, and industry executives will provide complementary lectures and cases, drawing on timely situations relatable to the physician cohort\u2019s experiences.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u201cWe believe this MBA stands apart not only for its curriculum but also in its uniting of physicians, professors and industry executives who are dedicated to tackling thorny issues in the nation\u2019s biggest industry,\u201d says Vicki Smith-Daniels<\/strong>, professor of operations and supply chain management at Kelley and chairperson of emerging graduate programs. \u201cWe have been thoughtful and deliberate in creating this program because patients depend on us getting it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Information sessions will be held during April and May; the application deadline for the first class is July 1, 2013. Complete information can be found at the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
