大龄女医科求healthcare MBA选校指导

另外，UNC和Ross确实，虽然不是heathcare名校，但总在那些大公司（尤其是回国leadership）的target school中。

非常感谢！渐渐的对选校有了些思路！

师姐就是 yoshimihoku，哈哈，我相信她对这个领域的理解绝对权威。有时间的话还是多和他交流一下吧。

我感觉是，中国人在美国找工作，关键还是自己的找工作的策略以及能力，学校只是提供更多的机会。

我在美国一个MBA 会上认识的一个校友和楼主你的情况有点类似
不过她年纪比你大多了，孩子都17了。 她选择是ross。 而且她谈到医疗这领域的生源越来越多，是个好现象
楼主你的学术背景很好，其他项也基本没硬伤，只要把自己职业发展计划和社区服务好好包装一下，M7的希望很大

If you are passionate about healthcare program, Duke is a good choice. Besides leadership programs offered by the firms mentioned above, there are many other great companies also came to the campus for international students:

1. Zimmer (Medical Device)
2. Baxter (Medical Device)
3. GSK (Pharma)
4. Synthes (Medical Device, acquired by JnJ, not sure about next year)
5. BioGen (BioTechPharma)
6. BD (Medical Device)
...

However, what makes Duke healthcare program exciting and rewarding for me personally comes from two unique aspects:

1. Healthcare boot-camp

a one-week intensive lectures prior to the start of MBA program. You will attend a series of high profile lectures covering the whole healthcare industry including economy, pharma, hospital, insurance, long term care, government and finance. Many executives would be invited to the boot-camp to share experience. Even if you have not experience before, the boot-camp would prepare you quite well for coming interviews of healthcare companies.

2. Week-in-Washington DC

For HSMer (Health Sector Management), Duke will select active members each winter holiday to join week-in-Washington DC trip. Basically, this trip is supposed to help student understand how government and healthcare industry interacts with each other. For my experience, this is a trip really opening my eyes. Our program coordinator is a former congress man and retired governor of Ohio state, who is now helping HSM. During the trip, we visited FDA, NIH, Brookings Institute, Whitehouse and Congress, meeting key leaders from the industry such as Deputy Chief of Staff for Obama (btw, she met us right after meeting with Obama), directors of FDA, PR strategist of presidential campaign, chief economist of national economy council and billionaire entrepreneur in the industry who is now working for the government just for fun. All guys were also invited to the house of the congress man for networking close to the end. The whole trip put many aspects of US complicating healthcare industry under a solid, whole picture for us. The perspectives we saw were diverse and enlightening. As a Chinese, I saw many things beyond just healthcare, but how the government runs where power of industry bargains with power of government. Unforgettable experience to me!  

Hopefully, this would give you or other friends interested in Healthcare a different perspective about Duke program.

楼上说的很对，这些公司都有program在招，top medical device top pharma的都会去Duke招，问题是，这些program招不招国际学生……
Zimmer那个倒是没有说，有可能还会招，因为今次还有面试他们，所以可能会招（不过不排除很多公司到最后一步说不招国际学生）
Synthes才被并了，DePuy冻结headcout都1年多了，估计不会再招了
Baxter确定肯定不招国际学生，BD不确定，但觉得不会差多少，GSK倒没试过，不过据我所知是没有的感觉。

anyway，来学校招肯定就确定了学校的质量。第一名肯定是Wharton，然后就是Duke

你们能说说这些medical device公司面向fresh MBA都招什么样的职位马？

谢谢

To yoshimihoku, the programs I mentioned are ones where my Chinese classmates received offer or interview invitations. For your reference, Zimmer gave offers to mainland Chinese. Synthes interviewed international students and extended offers. Baxter interviewed mainland Chinese students. GSK hired one Mainland Chinese. BD also hired international.

各位牛牛，如果非典型背景进去，出来找药企市场部会不会很困难，不想换INDUSTRY的话

robcat

It depends on how you present yourself. It sounds like BS. But it is true.

楼上，如果招就太好了，不知道今年政策如何。今年我是确定Baxter说不招，然后我真不觉得Synthes会招。。。因为DePuy根本就没有名额，还在整合阶段，如果说今年Synthes招，我倒会蛮吃惊。比较恶心的是比如说Philips Healthcare，前几年招了好多international的（mainly阿三），今年development program也开始不招international了。所以不知道楼上说的今年或者以后是不是还work。我的感觉是越来越多公司的leadership开始只面对美国人，一方面是经济不好，另一方面是大家都重视中国，所以都想把招到的人放回中国区
