Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in Department of Biochemistry, Government Medical College, Nagpur, India
Education:
1. Have been a good student throughout my school days.
2. Among the toppers at Senior Secondary and Higher Secondary Level
3. M.B.B.S (Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery) - Medical College and Hospitals, Kolkata, India (Among the top 15 Medical Colleges in India)
4. M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) in Clinical Biochemistry- Grant Medical College and Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, India (Among the top 5 Medical Colleges in India)
Work Experience:
1. Post my M.B.B.S- 1 year compulsory rotatory internship (might not be counted as a work experience as this is required only after which the MBBS degree is conferred)
2. After the M.B.B.S, 6 months of House Physician in Department if Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion, Medical College and Hospitals, Kolkata, India
3. During my MD, 3 years as Junior Resident Doctor in Department of Biochemistry, Grant Medical College and Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, India
4. Currently, Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur, India.
Why an MBA?
I am a person who is naturally addicted towards technology, right from the childhood days. As a result, I have a unique capability to make or suggest ways in which technology can affect Medical Science for the betterment of the masses and thus make healthcare industry move towards a positive direction. Doing these things is possible when you are at an important position in the healthcare industry with an authority and knowledge to push the people in the right direction. This is where an MBA can help me. It can help me gather the knowledge and know-how of the ways in which cost effective measures can be implemented for better patient care. Thus both the industry as well as the patients are benefited. I consider my case a unique one since, after an MBA, I'll have the knowledge of a manager and business as well as the perspective of a Physician and Laboratory Scientists. At the same time my profile can make me an ideal candidate for leading positions in Pharma Industries, Hospital Chains and Leading Healthcare projects in varied background.
Which Schools?
I have in my mind certain schools which I am looking forward to apply to- Wharton MBA program, HBS, Stanford, INSEAD. and in India- India School of Business (First Choice) and IIM, Ahmedabad. But I'll really like to know a few more schools which have a very good MBA program in Healthcare and excellent placements.
I'll Soon start preparing for GMAT and plan to take up the test within next 6-7 months. Target Score - 730+

Hi there,
Thanks for joining and posting with us. It sounds like you've put some thought into how the MBA could help you; be sure to do some more research into what that role and next step might truly look like, so you know what the exact roles you'd apply to post-MBA might look like... the more knowledgeable you are about your planned specific path, the better.
Certainly a good GMAT is a requirement for the schools mentioned, but not sufficient for admission either... your profile will be evaluated holistically, and for someone in your position, your overall 'story' will be a big factor... ie. describing your choices til now including why the MBA; making a strong case for exactly what you'll get out of the MBA; describing your future career path; describing how you've shown leadership in the past and what you'll bring to the program... all of those elements are crucial. In terms of other schools to look at, perhaps Ross, Duke, UNC? And consider some options outside the top 25 or so for better chances too.

Thank you so much for your analysis and I'm really happy that you pointed out few points and I'll keep those in mind while applying for a place in these B Schools. I'll definitely keep some schools which aren't in the top 25 globally. That's something I'll have to do I know. I'll do more research and get back to you once I'm more clear of other options that I may consider after doing an MBA, it's early but I'm sure I'll be successful in chalking a plan on what I'll be doing post MBA and what roles I'm targeting. Thank You once again, for your prompt response.
