guys

look at my credentials, i m not really so passionate about meds as most of u are.

my aim is to go into management and global health (eg, WHO,IRC) but wanna do IM as a basic ( i figure this residency to be the most helpful)

my Q is this, can IM residents do MBA part time? do we have the time?
and any idea if programs encourage it? and any unis that offer?

i have earched online and there are drs who do it, but they never mention how

why don't you go for MPH and then DrPH instead of residency. I don't know how much an IM residency would help you in future. You are already an MD and have the necessary background. This is my personal opinion as I was thinking of this plan for a while, but finally inclined toward residency and clinical work.

cuz ive interviewed for IRC
they have too many dr s with MPH,and the career progression is slow

withIM, i would be able to not only lead health lthprograms,but be on site program director for medical releif and acut emergencies/catastrophe.
thats y.

I've actually had people come through my residency so that they could do hospital management. He said that he didn't think he could run a hospital if he couldn't understand why things were the way they are. We knew it from day one of his residency.
