Is it worth it to get an MBA for healthcare Administration? I’m currently getting my MPH in Healthcare Management at Yale. I’m thinking about applying to deferred mba admission programs. But, is it worth it? I’ve seen a lot of senior leaders with just one additional degree. Any advice would be appreciated.

What would your goal be for that degree? I'm sure it would be kind of valuable but you could honestly probably get your target jobs with the degree you're currently completing.

No, and that’s as a current mba student.

Too much overlap for another healthcare related degree

That depends on your career goals and the path that you want to take. But generally, it will not really make a big difference. You can use it for promotion but only if the company prefers those who have MBAs
