Application of Business Principles in Healthcare Strategy and Innovation

Jonesborough, TN

Over the past several years, businesses across almost every industry have taken great strides in improving processes to become more time- and cost-effective. However, the healthcare industry has been very slow to adopt such changes, leaving many healthcare processes highly inefficient and hindering the quality-of-care doctors can provide. This interdisciplinary program aims to optimize critical hospital workflows via real-time data-driven decision-making and policy awareness. By implementing modern organizational structures alongside revolutionary data analysis and aggregation methods, it is possible to greatly decrease corrective measures that plague hospitals currently. By doing this, hospitals can save tens of millions of dollars every year while simultaneously empowering physicians to provide better care through proactive policy changes and the implementation of artificial intelligence.

I intend on attending medical school and receiving an MD/MBA. Afterward, I plan to become a neurosurgeon and simultaneously work with hospital administrators to improve strategic decision-making and policy implementation. Finally, I would like to provide venture capital and consulting services for healthcare device startups to help drive innovation in medicine.

Alongside this program, I am completing majors in Finance, Neuroscience, and Psychology and minors in Data Science, Entrepreneurship, and Pre-Health Professions. Additionally, I am always looking for opportunities to further my professional development and interdisciplinary understanding of healthcare. I have done this via extra coursework, volunteer opportunities, networking across different industries, and conducting research. Ultimately, I hope to place myself in the best possible position to formulate dynamic solutions for prevalent healthcare administrative challenges.
