Welcome

BPLDP Vision

The Boonshoft Physician Leadership Development Program (BPLDP) prepares future physicians for leadership roles in order to shape the health care of the future.

BPLDP Mission

The Boonshoft Physician Leadership Development Program offers first-of-their-kind integrated, dual-degree curricula for medical students. Two tracks are offered, one conferring a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.); another conferring a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.). These two tracks are integrated with the School of Medicine (M.D.) curriculum, and also interact with each other during the five-year, dual-degree education. Both tracks emphasize the exercise of leadership in health care and the greater community. The physician leaders developed in this program have unique personal and professional skills that propel them to leadership opportunities in their careers.
