September is always associated with going back to school.  As it turned out, I was also going back to school as I was entering graduate school at Carnegie Mellon University for my Master in Medical Management degree.

In this essay, I discuss my travels through the American College of Physician Executive management courses and my plans for completing an additional graduate degree.  Few things have been more rewarding in my career than going back to school for additional learning.  There is a lot more to medicine than just science and I encourage all physicians to gain more education and knowledge on a broad range of topics such as health economics, health law, and healthcare management.
