Want to get as many letters after my name

[I Find This Humerus]

What are some suggested degrees to get to move into a more leadership/administrative position?

What kind of leadership/administrative positions are you looking for? I'm guessing most of the ones you're looking at just require you to volunteer instead of trying to get more worthless letters after your name.

Leadership not letters. Just lead, letters are silly nonsense . Leading by example is not the best way.........it is the only way.
Letters?!! another example of smoke without fire

Lots of people want to be in charge, few want to do work.

I'd go for a BAMF but most days I don't have the motivation

I have to agree....

Start taking on some leadership roles, find out if you medical staff follows... if not, then why?

There are some great leadership courses you can take that would not add letters, to help refine your skills but docs need to trust their leaders, know that they have their backs, and will fight for them. Show them this and they will follow.

MBA seems to be the go-to, right?  several threads about that here and I think on the blog.  CPE seems narrowly useful.  JD, CPA are widely known and more generally applicable.  can't go wrong with some extra training.  certainly shows motivation...or a complete ineptitude to practice medicine/surgery...

but BOHICA because WTF: we all know the lettered bureaucracy approach to medicine is FUBAR

?

Hope you have a sense of HUMERUS - you had to know these answers were coming.

MBA, in my mind, probably the clear trophy winner, although CFP and CPA are superior and more useful than an MBA impo.?

Had to look up BOHICA but not FUBAR.

I went to go find you a post about just that from side hustle scrubs but he seemed to shut down the website. Too bad. He was funny.

I think you need to give a leadership course to my institutional leaders......
