\u201cI thought that in the health sector part of the MBA program, the vast majority of students would be in the pharma or biotech sectors, but I\u2019ve been surprised by the diversity of industries my classmates work in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With a PhD focused in the effect of pain on human motor control, two post-docs, and healthcare management work experience on his resume, it would seem Michael Bergin had more than enough education and responsibility to advance his career. But Michael wanted to open up his future to new possibilities, and for that he needed to dig deeper into the world of business. That\u2019s when he turned to Questrom\u2019s Professional Evening Health Sector MBA program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m the kind of person who is interested in many different things,\u201d says Michael. \u201cAt the moment I\u2019m working as a lab manager, but I can see myself as an executive in a hospital administration. I\u2019m also interested in biotech and I could see myself as a healthcare consultant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring the business side of healthcare has provided insight after insight for Michael. \u201cI thought that in the health sector part of the MBA program, the vast majority of students would be in the pharma or biotech sectors, but I\u2019ve been surprised by the diversity of industries my classmates work in. Learning from the others in the healthcare sector and talking to them about what they do, has revealed career opportunities I hadn\u2019t imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the networks he\u2019s created with classmates and alumni mentors, Michael credits the faculty with influencing how he conducts himself at work. \u201cOrganizational Behavior with Professor Connie Hadley really changed my way of thinking and interacting with colleagues\u2014whether direct reports or superiors\u2014in terms of managing time, better articulating strategies and goals, how I interact with them and manage relationships, complete reviews and give feedback,\u201d says Michael. \u201cThere are so many things I learned in that course that I have integrated into my work life already.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Michael looks to his future, he already sees the value of the MBA degree. \u201cI think it will really help me get the senior position that I want in healthcare,\u201d he says. \u201cI could have continued to rise through the ranks with a PhD. But within management and administration in healthcare, an MBA really sets you apart, particularly with an advanced doctoral degree. Getting an MBA from Questrom will accelerate my career, hopefully allowing me to rise faster and further.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
