43 43 CEO/STRATEGY to decreased clinic procedural times, improved access, increased volumes, and improved practitioner and patient satisfaction. Q: How do clinicians with MBA degrees set themselves apart? TS: I believe that having an MBA allows clinicians to gain insights into the broader issues that healthcare is facing. By partnering with administrative/financial leaders, clinicians can help lead the evolution that is necessary for healthcare. Our patients, fellow clinicians and our healthcare culture demand a better system. AO: Combining a knowledge of medicine, including the realities of working in the current healthcare system, with a knowledge of business is the most effective way to make a difference in healthcare. Being able to speak both languages is critical to bridging the disconnect between administration, physicians, and healthcare consumers. An MBA enables physicians to tackle the bigger issues like vision, strategic growth and partnerships, team-building and corporate culture. CM: e pursuit of the degree signals the physician's interest in being part of the healthcare system on a broader level. Once earned, the MBA enhances the physician's ability to speak the language of healthcare finance. It allows the clinician to be at the table during strategic decision making. TG: By demonstrating the ability to transform healthcare delivery, you will set yourself apart and find yourself in a leadership position transforming healthcare on a larger scale. n CMS Innovation Center head Adam Boehler to leave post: 3 things to know By Ayla Ellison A dam Boehler, HHS deputy administrator and director of CMS' Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innova- tion, has been nominated to lead the International Development Finance Corp. and is leaving HHS, according to Bloomberg Law.
