Leadership is central to the work of a physician, and it is also fundamental to coursework in the Physician MBA Program. As the only top-ranked business school offering a rigorous MBA exclusively for physicians, the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University is committed to training physicians in the business of medicine. Through our partnership with the American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL), physicians have access to graduate management education and support in their journeys to drive effective change in healthcare.

Partner Benefits
Physician members of AAPL members can enjoy partner benefits based on when they earn the MBA:
- All AAPL members receive an application fee waiver, and two of the three letters of recommendation waived when applying to the Physician MBA Program.
- AAPL members who start the Physician MBA Program after completing Certified Physician Executive (CPE) or Master's Prerequisite Curriculum certification receive a 10% tuition discount.
- AAPL members who wait until after the MBA to apply for the CPE through AAPL get to bypass the AAPL required coursework and must only complete the AAPL Capstone, the final requirement in fulfilling CPE certification.
