Student Testimonials |
 As
my education in medical school became more clinical, I began to see
the commonalities among my two degrees and how integrated the topics
in medicine and business really are.
— Katie Takayasu (’09)
M.D./M.B.A. Program
 Public
health needs medicine and vice versa, and there is no better way to
show that than in this program. Having this second degree in the medical field
makes you a leader in the community.

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.
