A MIT Sloan MBA student describes choosing the program to pivot from biomedical research into the business of health care. She mapped programs against criteria such as school reputation, healthcare focus, entrepreneurship opportunities, and global immersion, concluding that Sloan offered the flexibility and network she needed to redirect her career toward health-system strategy and global health projects. Her account outlines the practical trade-offs applicants face when deciding on an MBA for sectoral specialization: timing, course selection, and experiential projects can make or break the degree’s career impact. She cites a hands-on project rebuilding a tuberculosis supply chain as a turning point that clarified her vocational priorities. Admissions officers, career services, and program directors should read the essay as a signal that sector-focused MBA tracks and experiential learning continue to be decisive enrollment drivers for mid-career applicants targeting health-care leadership roles.
