My first job was at a boutique healthcare consultancy, and I had colleagues with a variety of graduate degrees—MS, MPH, PhD, MD—but the MBAs were the most effective at managing teams and executing successful deliverables. I had gained some experience in many business skills, but I needed further education to truly master these skills and lead. I believed that I would be most effective in my next career steps by pursuing a broad business background instead of a healthcare specialty.
I was attracted to Tuck's general management curriculum. And it was a good decision: I constantly draw analogies—real out-of-the-box connections—between general management issues and my specific experience in healthcare. A perfect fit.
