Hi All,

I am planning to start MBA program in Fall 2011 and looking especially for the ones, that specialize in Healthcare Administration. I have done a bit of research and found two schools, SDA Bocconi, Italy and NUS, Singapore. But I need more resources and information about Healthcare MBA. Can somebody help me on that regard?

Also I don't have any prior experience in Healthcare domain, but it definitely is the field of my liking and I'd like to make a career in that. But I have started my own research on big pharma firms like Pfizer and Ranbaxy. I have 2.5 years of IT experience (India) as of now, good academic record(Graduate with honors), a pretty O.K. GMAT score of 710, and average extra curricular activities.

You may want to look into the Yale School of Management:

I know they have some healthcare specific MBA electives:

I believe they're highly regarded within the industry. The name definitely doesn't hurt. I'm not sure if you're looking in the US though.

Cheers

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
