Program overview
Physicians today face new challenges in our healthcare systems that require a business acumen uncommon in the traditional medical school curriculum. We designed the Physician Executive MBA (PEMBA) at the Haslam College of Business to prepare you to lead healthcare forward with an agile suite of business principles. In less than one calendar year, the PEMBA will equip you with valuable business insights to become an informed healthcare leader.
