MBA in Health care definitely holds a lot of scope in India and the same is in the developing level hence the demand for more and more professionals is growing but then again this leave us confused whether the increase in the medicine students taking up MBA in health care a valid decision rather than continuing in their respective field? And what could be the reasons for such career transitions.
