Producing leaders in health care is the goal of a new MD/MBA track offered jointly by Harvard Medical School (HMS) and Harvard Business School (HBS). Richard Bohmer, a physician and associate professor of business administration at HBS, described the need for the program: "A generation or two ago, [medical school] was all about training excellent practitioners," Bohmer said. "But now the excellence of the individual is a necessary but not entirely sufficient condition for good quality care. Health care delivery is as much about teams and highly functioning organizations as it is about excellent individuals. I see the new joint MD/MBA program as an attempt to begin training a group of practitioners who understand how to design, manage, and lead organizations as well as being able to manage patient's individual health problems."
