PharmD MBA Question
Hi! I’m a P2/rising P3, and I had a question on getting my MBA with my PharmD. I’m interested in the pharmaceutical industry & have had internships (one in reg and one in med affairs) the past two summers. I’ve gotten a lot of mixed advice on getting my MBA, but my school (a 0-6) offers a dual degree program & course substitution to help get my MBA although I can’t apply until I’m a P4. I do want to get my MBA as I think later down the line it could be quite useful, but I’m conflicted as to whether I should get it from my institution or wait & try to get it down the line from a better business school. I know it’s a lot of what ifs, but I think it’s plausible I could score 750+ on the GMAT & it’d be my dream to aim for an M7 school. I just wonder if going to an M7 is as valuable for big pharma as it is for investment banking/pe/consulting, and I don’t think it would be as much as a hinderance to get an MBA from my current institution if I went into industry as it would for those fields but I’m not really sure! Also I’m sorry I know this is a lot of future planning & what ifs, but I guess I’m just seeing if anyone has any advice or is more knowledgeable on this 😅
