Best master program if I want to pursue both a business and doctor career?
What's the best master program for someone who wants to have the available option of becoming a doctor/work in a health field, running a product line/making contributions to an enterprise, or both?
Public Health, Business Administration with Healthcare concentration, Health Administration, or Healthcare Administration?
I applied to some campuses that offers those listed graduate programs, and I'm watching out for those that will ultimately accept me or not. Would I have more opportunities to possibly branch out into business related field too if I've ended up doing the latter two masters?

You're going to want to look into Healthcare Administration or Public Health as a double major in your undergrad before you go off to med school. These are the two most advised majors for pre-med students to pick up to show that they are well rounded, but still heavily interested in going on to become a medical professional.

I know of three people who did not get into Med School directly out of college. Even though they had 3.5 to 4.0 GPA's it was there MSAT scores that may have kept them out the first time. As hard as it is to get into a Medical school I don't know if I would be fooling with a double major in two different career fields.
The people I know who are all now doctors took only premed courses in Grad school. Exactly what courses they were I'm not sure. They all were part of the volunteer Rescue Squad I belonged to and acquired their EMT qualifications then their Paramedic qualifications. The ran 911 calls with us and worked in hospital ER's. They built up a good resume to submit with their applications the next time and they were all accepted.
I am also aware of a company founded by three very successful doctors of psychiatry. They were and are great doctors. They turned out to be lousy businessmen and after building a successful bas company the bankrupted it when they tried to expand beyond their base knowledge.
What I'm trying delicately to say her is both professions you are trying to follow require fulltime attention to be successful. It is nearly impossible to be good in both which is why most successful practioner's have outside consultants handling the business side of their practices.
My suggestion is if you want to be a Doctor then follow a path to successful admission into a med school. You can take a minor if office management if you wish.
