As a medical doctor already, getting an economics degree would not help me because it's not the credentials required to become a CEO, president, medical director, etc. of a healthcare system (which is what I want to try doing). That would be achieved through an MBA. I am going to do my own reading about economics during this degree and also work to learn more about investing/trading, etc.
I'm looking to explore the administrative side of healthcare (insurance, pharmaceutical, leadership, etc.) and learn how to start/run a private practice.
Yeah, I may end up even busier than I most recently was, but I want to at least try it and then I can decide if that's what I want to be doing or not.

Your plan looks to be sound. I would suggest enrolling in a credentialed MBA programme and once you have started you cam apply for the roles you have listed. It might be that you will find a job w/o completing the MBA and can go from there. The degree, imo, is mostly for getting an initial foot in the door.
I wish you the best.

Auda, what do you mean "credentialed" MBA program? Can you give me examples? Of course, I can apply to Harvard LOL but they charge the crap out of you. I'm doing the MBA at a state school locally because they charge a reasonable cost. Also, I want to learn the material through the program, not just "use it" to get into a job. (but maybe that's overly idealistic thinking on my part)
Ramzi, I think he means that the MBA program itself is accredited by a business school accreditation organization such as the AACSB. Your MBA program should list how it is accredited and by whom. State schools offer just as good an education as the more illustrious schools.
I admire your industry and initiative. Go for it, and best of luck.
Bill

Ramzi-
My brother experienced some public exposure in his position as Head of the Flight Medicine Branch of NASA throughout the Apollo moon landing program. He left NASA after the last moon flight, and volunteered for a year at a hospital in Gaza, along with his wife, a nurse practitioner.
Upon his return to the USA he acted upon his long-term dissatisfaction with the practice of medicine in this country. He lobbied for the legislation enabling Health Maintenance Organizations in Texas. He hoped that the HMOs' potential financial interest in preventive medicine would incentivize its practice.
He was on the board of directors of two of the first HMOs, in Texas and elsewhere, for a few years. He quit in disgust when, as he said to me, it became clear that decisions were being made by accountants, not physicians.
The economic forces at work in the medical system of the USA have proven insurmountable to reform so far. The Affordable Care Act slightly reined in the insurance industry, but it remains a dominant force in the "wait until it breaks, then patch it up" mode of medicine in the USA.
Good luck.

Is this to transition away from medical, or is it to move up in the hierarchy (or perhaps neither)? Careful though, you're gonna lose your flamenco street cred and become a señorito if you go too high up the ladder. ^^
