MBA Healthcare Leadership Concentration

 

Dr. Seema Singh

Dr. Seema Singh is a professor of pathology at the Mitchell Cancer Institute, part of the University of South Alabama’s USA Health system in Mobile, Alabama.

After earning her Ph.D. in India in 2000, Singh moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where she began laboratory work focused on breast cancer. In 2009, she relocated with her family to Mobile to join the Mitchell Cancer Institute, where she moved up from instructor to her current position of full professor.

Driven by her ambition, Singh decided to pursue an MBA at the Mitchell College of Business.

"It had always been a long-term dream of mine to pursue an MBA," she said. "However, I was initially apprehensive due to my background in science, and the thought of dealing with math was intimidating. Nevertheless, I gathered the courage to take a leap of faith and go for it. As it turns out, it was the best decision I ever made."

Matthew Berg

Matthew Berg is a health system distribution manager at USA Health.

Berg learned all about logistics and supply chain management from his 12 years in the U.S. Army.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Supply Chain Management at Mitchell College of Business in 2019 and his MBA this spring.

“I learned so much in my undergraduate program,” said Berg. “All of the experience I got in the Army all made sense once I studied it at school. It let me know the Army wasn’t just making stuff up.”

Berg decided to get an MBA to further his understanding of the business of healthcare.

“I heard about the MBA healthcare concentration, and I knew that would be helpful for me," he said. "One of the best things I learned was to see things from the doctor's perspective. I feel like I can help more from the supply side, and now I feel comfortable having conversations about what the doctors need.”
