LEADERSHIP
THE PROGRAM
Master of Medical Management
The MMM program complements the certificate program. This cohort-based professional master’s degree program was designed exclusively for physicians and other clinical leaders to promote effective management techniques, such as authentic leadership, creative thinking to improve health care systems, and empathy among health care practitioners.
Tulane was the first to offer the MMM degree. In 1997, Dr. Gene Beyt was a faculty member of the inaugural MMM class to graduate from the school. The program ran until 2005, when Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters paused the program. Beyt has now returned to lead the MMM program.
“The program began in 1997, and by 2005, approximately 70% of the responding 500 MMM alumni from Tulane and the other partner universities rated MMM on-the-job training as excellent because of the positive effect it had on their management career,” says Dr. Beyt. “Tulane MMM alumni can now be found in executive-level management positions throughout the United States.”
The school took the first steps toward relaunching the program by offering the graduate certificate program to physicians and administrators at Ochsner Health System. Based on the success of that program, the MMM degree program was officially relaunched in January of 2021 with a class of 24 Ochsner physicians. That cohort is ongoing.
Once launched, the MMM program can be completed in approximately 16 months in an executive format. The program consists of 36 credit hours of coursework, complemented by executive coaching and a unique immersion experience in New Orleans. In addition, each student is assigned a mentor who will work with the clinician-student to develop a path for positive change.
The program culminates with a capstone project that allows the student to take the program’s content, including guidance from mentors and their experience during the immersion, and apply it to their personal journey. The result is a guide depicting where they have been, where they are going, and how they will get there.

The reimagined mmm
The focus for relaunch of Tulane’s MMM program is on authentic leadership development fostering human-centered innovations within learning organizations, enabling positive cultures, compassionate care and workforce wellbeing. Stakeholder input is vital at every step in creating a valued contribution to the physician leadership development ecosystem.
Our Mission
The Master of Medical Management Now
We want to reimagine physician executive education. The program will be built on the scholar/practitioner faculty model with full-time academic faculty and senior-ranking physician executives as contributors. Three unique overarching themes have been incorporated into this revised leadership development and innovation program:
- The program focus is on developing authentic positive-change leaders who think differently and lead change empathetically,
- The program fosters creativity, innovation skills, and human-centered design tools necessary in building a consumer-driven organization with a market-driven strategy, and
- The program supports the formation of a positive organizational culture and the creation of a learning organization, which provides a compassionate and aesthetic brand experience for the patients and the workforce.
