THE KELLEY

PHYSICIAN MBA

Business of Medicine MBA

Physicians from across the country and from an array of specialties have enrolled in the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program. Their motivations for pursuing an MBA vary as much as the individuals themselves. But one factor they all share is the critical need for new capabilities in the changing healthcare landscape.

Revolutionary changes in healthcare have shifted the way physicians approach medicine. As a physician, your responsibilities are even more complex—mostly because the demands for physician leadership have grown in number and importance.

Healthcare is not just any business. Its complexities require a sophisticated knowledge of both medicine and business. That’s why our faculty started the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program. We believe physicians should be driving healthcare change.

Designed for physicians, our 21-month program is innovative and unique. It’s built on a rigorous curriculum, collaborative learning, and a flexible schedule that prepares you to succeed in your dual roles as a patient advocate and a business strategist.

Combining the Kelley Physician MBA with your clinical expertise, you’ll be uniquely positioned to lead change—not just react to it. If you believe better patient care and outcomes are about leadership, your future is at the Kelley School of Business.

The Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program is unlike any other traditional or executive MBA program. It is designed exclusively for physicians. It gives you the business acumen to complement your medical training and to lead your organization through the rapid and momentous changes happening in healthcare’s strategic space.

To build this unique curriculum, Kelley faculty specializing in the business of medicine consulted with industry experts and engaged thought leaders to identify critical principles physicians will need to direct the future of healthcare. The curriculum they created is designed to deliver carefully sequenced content, combining core integrated business knowledge with specialized, contemporary healthcare courses.

These will introduce you to new approaches, tools, and ways of thinking that you can incorporate into your organization immediately. The Kelley Physician MBA is focused not only on teaching you leading principles in cost management, delivery models, and operations efficiency, but also putting these business lessons to use in the healthcare industry.

Exclusive to the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA

Dr. Mike Fletcher had been a physician leader for two decades and a chief medical officer for 10 years when he decided to pursue an MBA. In that time, Dr. Fletcher had been able to execute his duties largely based on his reputation, collegial relationships, and common sense. But he realized the new healthcare landscape required more than just common sense.

“A presenter at the Society of Hospital Medicine conference I attended said, ‘If physicians do not take the lead in changing and improving healthcare, the MBAs will.’ It dawned on me that the most effective force to lead the changes in healthcare is physician MBAs. I decided the best way for me to achieve this role is through a degree designed specifically for physicians.”

Dr. Fletcher chose the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program because of its focus on physicians and a core curriculum taught by Kelley faculty. Classic MBA courses like accounting, finance, and operations equipped him with the business platform to better navigate hospital operations, while the healthcare-focused electives expanded his knowledge about the challenges and solutions within modern medicine.

“I now have a large toolbox of resources that I frequently use in my role as CMO,” he says. “The Kelley Physician MBA has helped me gain an entirely new and broader perspective on how I think about and approach the dramatic changes we are currently experiencing in medicine.”

The lessons extended beyond what Dr. Fletcher learned from a book or lecture. The Kelley Business of Medicine MBA curriculum challenged him to consider the personal qualities that make an effective leader and how he could be the most effective physician leader in his hospital and health system.

“I found nearly every class to have direct relevance to the world of medicine in which I live every day as a CMO and practicing physician,” he says. “My ability to lead other physicians in the interests of better patient care—and for long-term viability of our hospital’s mission—has been significantly enhanced.” Mike Fletcher, MD, MBA’15

This experience will enrich your leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving capabilities while expanding your physician network. Our graduates list the program’s teamwork experiences among the most valuable. Such experiences will help you acquire additional tools to strengthen the interpersonal skills essential to working with and influencing others.

Your time is valuable, and your interests are specific. The Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program is designed to fit your schedule by delivering healthcare-focused business content in formats that meet a busy physician’s needs.

Developed for ultimate flexibility, the 21-month curriculum is delivered through monthly residency sessions in Indianapolis as well as on-demand online learning. You will have the unique opportunity to network across specialties alongside other physicians from a variety of organizations and locations.

ResidencyAs you progress through the curriculum, our continuous learning model will provide opportunities to apply what you’ve learned online when you participate in monthly residency sessions.

Through intense immersion experiences, you will try out new ideas, learn new ways of thinking, enhance your communication and problem-solving skills, and refine leadership and team collaboration capabilities.

Our residency sessions are held Friday through Saturday in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. One of the country’s largest cities and a global convention destination, Indianapolis offers easy and direct travel with a world-class airport and exceptional hotel accommodations within walking distance of the executive classroom suite, which is located just 20 minutes from the airport.

You’ll benefit from learning primers and full-time instructional support throughout the program to ensure you are comfortable with select technology.

NOT JUST ANY MBA, ONE

DESIGNED FOR PHYSICIANS

Like many modern physicians, Dr. Peter Kang recognized the changes in healthcare, and he wanted to gain some control over how it affected his practice. He decided to earn an MBA to bridge the gap between his medical education and the business of managing healthcare.

“I chose the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program because it focused specifically on physicians and healthcare,” he says. “I wanted to be among like-minded physicians so we could really zero in on the business of medicine.”

Dr. Kang found that the collaborative curriculum pushed him to step outside his comfort zone. While physicians are accustomed to the individualized nature of medical school and leading by edict in practice, the Kelley Physician MBA engages you as part of a diverse team of physicians solving a problem together.

“Physicians tend to be very independent. In modern healthcare, we’re in silos, rarely talking to one another,” says Dr. Kang. “The team dynamics of this program compelled us to work together, to appreciate other viewpoints, and to realize there isn’t always one right answer. As a result, I’ve improved communication with my colleagues and administrators. I used to dread team projects when I was in college and medical school. Now, I’m more open to collaboration.”

In the hybrid online and in-person delivery format, Dr. Kang engages with the class material at his convenience (at home in Iowa) before joining his classmates in Indianapolis each month to discuss the topics.

“The combination of residency weekends and online instruction has been very conducive to learning,” he says. “When a question arises in our readings, we can talk it out in class and collectively reach a solution.

“The Kelley professors are also very responsive; I usually receive an email reply within 24 hours,” he says. “Some are open to meeting after hours or even on weekends. They are truly invested in the program and committed to changing healthcare through us. They ensure you get something out of it and make an effort to stay with you, regardless of your pace.”

As partner in a private practice radiology group, Dr. Kang says the Kelley Physician MBA has helped him take his career to the next level. Not only has he implemented process improvements to cut in half the time it takes a stroke patient’s CT scans to get to a physician in the emergency department, Dr. Kang has also earned a new leadership role.

“I’m now the president of the medical executive committee at one of the hospitals where we provide radiology services,” says Dr. Kang. “I think my enrollment in an MBA program demonstrated my desire to grow more as a physician leader, not only to my colleagues but to administrators and the hospital’s board of directors. They appreciate the knowledge and information that I have shared to help them make decisions for the future.”

As medical staff president at her hospital, Dr. Cameual Wright was no stranger to leadership when she entered the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program. And yet it was a leadership course with management professor Christopher O.L.H. Porter that has made the biggest impact on her daily life.

“Professor Porter’s lessons were groundbreaking for me,” says Dr. Wright. “As a clinician, I interact with staff, nurses, and colleagues every day. This course made me significantly more cognizant of how I fit into a team and how my behavior is reflected in other team members.”

The leadership and ethics course taught by Porter provides deep, individualized assessment of each physician’s leadership style. Assessments are synthesized with feedback from each student’s professional colleagues to help create a personalized development plan in leadership.

“We often talk about the practical application of good theory. This is a course in which students learn how to do that,” says Porter, who has studied team dynamics within hospital emergency departments. “Students like Dr. Wright are great because they apply what they learn, in real time, but they also share their leadership successes and failures, which allows their peers an opportunity to learn vicariously.”

In fact, the interaction between classmates and professor was crucial to leadership development, according to Dr. Wright.

“Professor Porter didn’t lecture extensively but, instead, introduced compelling readings and led classroom discussions that really inspired deep self-reflection,” she says. “You can learn all the nuts and bolts of leadership and earn all the merit badges in the world, but if you can’t gain the confidence of your teammates and if you don’t appear authentic and act with integrity, you’re not going to inspire much change. I feel like Professor Porter really helped drive that home.”

In addition to personal growth, Dr. Wright gained concrete leadership skills in areas directly applicable to her career.

“In one module, we learned how to be effective negotiators,” she says. “This is something I’m using currently in my department, as we’re negotiating with the organization. I suspect my approach to this would have been very different a year ago, had I not had the benefit of experiencing this very deliberate negotiation and leadership process.”

Physicians may lead medical teams every day without much thought to how they acquired such skills or whether their methodologies are truly effective. Porter’s lessons in leadership challenged and enhanced the way Dr. Wright approaches her position of leadership within her hospital.

“In medical school, leadership is about being the boss and everyone else following along,” says Dr. Wright. “Professor Porter’s class, and the program as a whole, taught me that being the leader means developing a good team and having excellent team dynamics. Your team is much stronger if you can achieve positive results by guiding individuals to a common goal. I think that’s radically different from what we’re taught in medical school.”

EMPOWERINGPHYSICIANS TO LEAD

The Business of Medicine MBA curriculum offers several unique opportunities to apply what you are learning through teamwork, live case studies, consulting projects, international immersion, and public policy courses. Led by an esteemed group of faculty experts and researchers, you’ll network with healthcare industry thought leaders who participate in the program as guest speakers and lecturers. And you’ll receive individualized executive coaching to leverage these experiences as a physician leader to create impact in your organization.

Global Healthcare StudyEach year, you have the option to immerse yourself in a global healthcare experience outside the United States. This elective course offers the opportunity to examine best practices from other countries as well as learn about global healthcare delivery models, infrastructure, universal healthcare systems, medical tourism, medical trials, telemedicine, and more. The course includes a 10-day trip to one of several rotating international destinations—chosen by students.

Integrative Experiences: Consulting and Organizational ProjectsIn regular intervals throughout the curriculum, you will complete integrative experience courses. These provide an opportunity to merge business and clinical knowledge using a live case study from the healthcare industry or completing a project within your own (or a team member’s) organization.

In your initial integrative experience course, your team will act as consultants. You will analyze a sponsoring organization’s problem or opportunity and prepare a business plan to present to industry experts. You and your physician classmates will research the organization, interview its leaders, and apply all the tools you’ve learned throughout the program to make recommendations regarding the organization’s next strategic step for growth.

A Lean Six Sigma course provides you with process improvement tools to eliminate waste, increase value, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, while completing a real-life project at a healthcare organization. Through this course, students will receive a Green Belt in Healthcare Lean Six Sigma process improvement while solving an actual healthcare problem that an organization is facing.

Healthcare PolicyDiscover your voice in Washington, D.C., through this location-based immersion study. As a capstone to the program, all students travel to the nation’s capital for a five-day course to learn firsthand about healthcare reform and public policy from policy makers, lobbyists, regulators, and government officials. This course gives you a seat at the table to analyze emerging healthcare policy.

APPLY NEW SKILLS

IN REAL TIMEExecutive Coaching You will be assigned an executive coach for the duration of your second year. This is an integral part of your education. Your ability to engage others in the workplace and how you are perceived can either hold you back from leadership roles or propel you forward.

You’ll meet confidentially—in person or virtually—with your executive coach who will work with you to leverage newfound business knowledge and skills to meet your professional goals. This is more than simply “coaching” you toward your objectives. You will create and implement a personalized plan. Through this process of highly individualized training, you will:• Discover how to be more successful• Identify how to get where you want to go• Understand perceived barriers • Determine how to overcome obstacles

In addition to your personalized plan, our executive coaching will provide you with enhanced tools in conflict resolution, communication, and team interaction. You will leave the program with the skills to orient yourself as a change agent for your organization, whether you are employed by an integrated health system or you run a private or group practice.

“We know that leadership development is most effective when physicians can speak candidly with someone who has an understanding of leadership and the role of a leader. As an executive coach, I meet physicians where they are. As a physician, you are a smart, high-achieving individual, and my role is to help you learn how to use your skills and competencies to create influence and impact in new territory, such as on organizational teams and working collaboratively with non-clinical administrative professionals.”

Charles (Chuck) Stoner, executive coach, award-winning teacher, scholar, and co-author of Inspired Physician Leadership: Creating Influence and Impact, published by the American Association for Physician LeadershipCharles Stoner

Executive Coach

Thomas Ciulla, MD, MBA’15Ophthalmologist and Vice President

Given the opportunity to tackle a challenge within his own ophthalmology practice, Dr. Thomas Ciulla decided to examine how to reduce patient wait times. Using the Lean Six Sigma process improvement tools gained through the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program, Dr. Ciulla and his multi-specialty physician team identified a bottleneck in patient flow that occurred when patients received eye injections.

“Based on our analysis of patient data and working with clinic staff, we created a new process flow for patients receiving injections and also added another technician during high-demand injection times,” says Dr. Ciulla. “As a result, we decreased wait time in the clinic 18 percent and increased patient satisfaction dramatically. Patients were giving us hugs; they were so thrilled with the results.”

Not only did the process improvement project create a replicable process that could be used to improve challenges in other healthcare settings, Dr. Ciulla earned buy-in from his staff by involving them in the project’s success.

“Six Sigma is a wonderful process because it engages the staff, which makes them feel as though they’re part of a solution not the problem,” he says. “They take ownership in the various aspects of the process and are very motivated to improve. We were able to raise employee satisfaction as well as patient satisfaction. The whole morale of the office improved.”

Dr. Ciulla’s project team included two Kelley classmates (a pathologist and a cardiologist), his practice administrator, and a Six Sigma Master Black Belt. Working together and drawing upon their unique and varied experiences, each team member contributed valuable perspectives to the project.

”Medical care is very much a team sport, and physicians need to be good quarterbacks who practice emotional intelligence, empathy, communication skills, and leadership qualities,” says Dr. Ciulla. “I have learned to more thoroughly consider the viewpoints and skill sets of others and to synergistically work with others to complete projects and work towards goals.”

Dr. Ciulla presented the patient flow project at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and he plans to submit it for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society of Retina Specialists. After graduating from the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program, Dr. Ciulla earned a vice president position with a biotech company that focuses on new therapies for macular degeneration.

“The Kelley Physician MBA taught me the importance of teamwork and lifelong learning,” he says. “It has given me the confidence to work in a new environment, applying my clinical research and practice experience to retinal drug development to treat the leading causes of blindness.”

ACHIEVE TRANSFORMATIONAL

OUTCOMES

During her studies, Dr. Dolan used the Lean Six Sigma group project to improve door-to-doctor time in her pediatric practice. The project not only increased patient satisfaction and quality of care, but the initial pilot resulted in a 12 percent increase in the number of patients who were seen by the physician and a 17 percent increase in revenue.

“Whenever you earn a degree, there’s this question: Can I do the work? The Lean Six Sigma project gave me a chance to prove to myself—as much as anyone—that I can use this education to accomplish something,” she says. “It’s more than just knowledge; that’s nice to have. It’s how using these tools affects your ability to impact change around you.”

Dr. Dolan graduated from the Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program in 2015. She has since earned the role of medical director for population health at her hospital system.

“I expected to feel better about what I was trying to accomplish, but I had no idea I’d come out feeling so changed,” she says. “I thought I was a pretty good listener before Kelley, but I’m a much better listener now. I thought I knew how to organize and run operations, but I know I can do that better now. When I fail at something organizational, I’ll recognize it as part of the learning curve and be more forgiving to myself. I feel like I have been given a gift.”

Virginia Dolan, MD, MBA’15Pediatrician and Medical Director

When Dr. Virginia Dolan decided to pursue an MBA, her colleagues were surprised. She is, after all, a successful, seasoned pediatrician who loves her job and thinks with an entrepreneurial spirit. Over the years, she has opened a clinic for the uninsured, started a hands-on teaching kitchen for patients, and provided resiliency training for teachers.

But Dr. Dolan knew that she really hadn’t scratched the surface—that she still had great moments ahead of her.

“I was struck by what I didn’t know and what I wanted to know,” she says. “A vice president at my hospital told me earning an MBA made him rethink his place in the world. That’s true. The Kelley Business of Medicine MBA Program has done the same for me; it’s made me rethink what I can do to move forward.”

Dr. Dolan acquired tools and new ways of thinking she could bring back to her health system to tackle goals for efficiency, effectiveness, and patient-centered care.

“You acquire valuable tools that make you feel secure; you know that you’re on a true north pattern when you’re making changes,” she says. “The big picture of process improvement is multi-step: building improvement on improvement on improvement. It’s like science. We know that one medical study builds on another study, which builds on another study. In essence, the business of medicine is not that different from our medical training. It’s a scientific approach of identifying how you work toward an outcome.”
