After an MBA a doctor could get into one of the following industries:
  • Healthcare services delivery (hospitals, hospital chains)
  • Pharmaceutical companies
  • Biotech companies

  • NGOs

The functional areas where you could get in are (by industry):


  • Healthcare services delivery (hospitals, hospital chains)
    • Marketing and customer relations
    • Sales
    • Operations – This is where I’ve got a job now with Apollo Hyderabad

    • Sales
    • Operations
    • Business development
    • Licensing

Management is one of the most sought after careers
these days. With even non-commercial organisations striving to
streamline their operations and assimilating better standards of
business practices, the demand for managers in specialised fields is
increasing by the day. In the backdrop of the healthcare sector
expanding rapidly, MBA in Hospital Administration will lead to a
promising career opportunity.


You can find employment in hospitals and other healthcare
organisations. The tasks would typically involve managing the staff,
health services and containing the expenditure. While both medical and
non-medical graduates can take up the course, medical graduates would
be dealing more with the technical aspects of hospital administration.
