Increasingly, physicians gravitating toward the fields of quality improvement and healthcare management are seeking MBA degrees to supplement their medical training. Approximately half of all U.S. medical schools offer combined MD-MBA degrees, and numerous executive MBA programs exist for physicians in practice. Physicians who enter management are considered change agents for healthcare improvement, yet they receive little support and encouragement from their medical teachers and practicing colleagues. This situation can be rectified by placing greater value on the role of business-trained physicians and subsidizing their tuition for business school.
越来越多倾向于质量改进和医疗管理领域的医生正在寻求工商管理硕士学位来补充他们的医学培训。美国所有医学院校中约有一半提供医学博士与工商管理硕士的双学位，并且有许多针对在职医生的高级工商管理硕士项目。进入管理领域的医生被视为医疗改进的变革推动者，但他们很少得到医学教师和同行同事的支持与鼓励。这种情况可以通过更加重视接受过商业培训的医生的作用并补贴他们的商学院学费来得到纠正。
