MD/MBA Program
Elevate your medical career by integrating advanced business leadership into your clinical expertise. In a partnership with LSU New Orleans Henry Bernstein College of Business Administration MBA Program, LSU Health Sciences Center medical students have the unique ability to complete an MBA concurrently with their MD.
By utilizing periods of more flexible scheduling in the medical curriculum, you can
earn two powerful degrees without extending your time in school.

The Physician-Executive Edge
Earning your MBA during medical school lets you apply business logic directly to your clinical training, prepping you for leadership from day one.
- Take advantage of periods with reduced clinical demands and non-clinical rotation months to complete MBA requirements without slowing down your MD.
- Give your residency application an edge. Program directors value applicants who understand healthcare systems, finance, and team management.
- Get the tools you need to run a profitable clinic or head a hospital department right out of the gate.
- Open doors to high-level roles in healthcare consulting, biotech, and hospital administration.
A Schedule Built for Students at LSUHSC
The schedule is built from the Executive weekend MBA, Traditional MBA, and Master of Science in Healthcare Management to create a hybrid schedule that works with your course load:
- A flexible mix of evening sessions and online components designed to fit your clinical schedule.
- On-campus sessions meet approximately once a month (Saturday/Sunday).
