Medical Management for Physicians (MMM) Application Process
The Master of Medical Management for Physicians (MMM) program is designed exclusively for physicians, and nearly all specialties have been represented since the program's inception in 1998.
If you’re looking for MMM program overview, including information regarding curriculum, scholarships and financial aid, or career outcomes, please visit the MMM main page.
To apply, you must be a physician (MD/DO or equivalent foreign medical degree) and have a minimum of five years of post-residency professional experience. Although previous management experience is not required, most students have some experience in large health care organizations, group practices, insurance companies, rural clinics, and solo practices. Most successful applicants are currently working as practicing physicians and/or as physician administrators, consultants or advisors.
Application open: apply now
We encourage prospective MMM students to submit their applications as soon as possible so they receive their admission decision and can prepare for the start of the program in a timely manner.
We will continue to accept applications through mid-June for our 2025 incoming cohort. Even though we follow rolling admission, we want to ensure students can begin their pre-work (which begins in July) with their cohort in a timely manner.
