Needed your advice if MBA will be good my career choice
Facts
1. I'm a 35year old Medically qualified physician from India working for IBM Singapore in the Healthcare IT space as a Senior Consultant and handling multiple projects across Asia Pacific.
2. Post my degree I started working for Healthcare IT and have been in it for close to 8years, I have had a very good IT career having worked with some of the top players in the field.
3. I'm looking to pursue a management degree in US/Singapore/India and continue to work in the healthcare IT space.
Questions
1. What prospect change do you think a MBA from a reputed institute can make considering my age at the time of completion of course and my background? In short should I go for MBA or not?
2. Considering my unique profile I optimistically assume I can get accepted in a reputed institution with a reasonable GMAT score. In this scenario which country/institute do you suggest will best suit my profile?
Appreciate your time and effort in reading through my post and answering my questions.
Warm Regards
Thanks

1. An MBA will help you gain business skills and contribute to the business side, which many technical jobs do not allow. If you are seeking senior (leadership) positions/ responsibilities which require a good understanding of business, then go ahead and do the MBA.
2. there are several MBA programs that have a specialization in healthcare management. You could aim for these. DO you have any country/ region preferences? A major factor that will govern your choice of b-school and the program format is your age, which is on the higher side for a regular, two year MBA.
Singapore has some good options like NUS, INSEAD and SMU. As a start, you should explore these b-schools.

Hi MBA4Doc,
My answers are as follows:
1. Ask yourself if you need an MBA degree to progress further in your industry. You can look at the career profiles of people in your industry who have been there longer than you. Better, speak to some of them. If you find that MBA does help people progress faster or higher, then you can consider it. Second, if you decide to pursue an MBA, your recruitment will be mostly self-driven and network based. It’s because most on-campus placements will be for mainstream industries & functions and for typical starting MBA roles. You can, of course, make use of school’s alumni network and other resources, but the process will be less structured overall.
2. Look at schools with some semblance of healthcare program, because these schools are more likely to have alumni and network in your industry, which will help you in recruitment.
Having said that, being 30+ has its own challenges as far as MBA admission is concerned. You may learn more about it here:
