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.
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.
