Pitt Business Features
- Redefining the Limits of Medical Education: Business Skills Required
- Doctors in training are equipped to treat human health issues, but very few are educated in business skills during med school. Should that change as the medical landscape places new pressures on doctors? Carl H. Snyderman, professor of otolaryngology and neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, says doctors better serve their patients and manage their teams when they borrow business skills from MBA's.
- Education Reformer Targets Youth in Indonesia
- Inspiration comes in many forms. Antarina S.F. Amir drew upon her business background to grow a school system in her native Indonesia. Her schools don't follow rigid curriculums and favor active learning over memorization.
