Hear from a UofL Health Surgeon and UofL Online MBA Graduate!

By Conner Mackowiak | October 8, 2024 | Comments 0 Comment

We had an opportunity to speak with Dr. Kellen Choi, a surgeon with UofL Health and the Advisory Dean for UofL’s School of Medicine. Dr. Choi also completed UofL’s online MBA program, and offered some interesting insights as to how the program can be beneficial for students at any stage of their careers. Read Dr. Choi’s insights below!

Please provide your full name, title, and any credentials.

My name is Kellen Choi DO, FACOS, MBA.

Could you please share your current employer and occupation?

I work as a Urologic Surgeon at UofL Health, and serve as an Advisory Dean at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.

Why did you choose to pursue UofL’s online MBA?

I chose an online MBA at UofL to be part of the Cardinal family. I have been part of UofL Health and have also been teaching our students over the years at the University of Louisville, School of Medicine. I was impressed with how Cardinal students are proud of their school and thriving in life. As the medical field is becoming more complex and innovative ways to maximize our healthcare are crucial, I wanted to learn how to be an effective leader in our healthcare. I am a second-generation Aggie (Whoop!) and have also met several Aggie-Cardinals in our community, helping others and making the world a better place!

Did you complete the Business of Healthcare certificate?

I took business healthcare electives courses before the certificate was available but have thoroughly enjoyed taking valuable courses, which I use daily in my practice. I look forward to teaching as a faculty member for such an amazing program!

What was your favorite part of the online MBA experience?

I loved learning about different aspects of the business world that I was not familiar with as a physician, but the real joy was making connections with my professors and colleagues I still keep in touch with.

How has UofL’s online MBA helped you advance your career?

The UofL online MBA helped me be a more well-rounded physician who helps patients and healthcare in more innovative ways.

How does earning the online MBA through UofL fit into your life story?

My husband helped me navigate MBA classes while our two daughters saw me studying all the while working full time as a urologic surgeon. Now, my husband is getting his MBA while our two daughters see him study and work full time as critical care physician. Our girls love to see us study and grow as a family and help each other reach our goals to help others effectively!

What would you tell others considering pursuing an MBA?

Just do it! You will love it!

Thank you for your answers, Dr. Choi! You can learn more about UofL’s online programs here.
