sorry katwkittens, I can’t PM you with specific information like my email correspondence with various programs, until I get 15 posts on this forum.

Programs your S should check out:
Emory has a one year MBA program, and they are wanting to expand the number of MDs who are taking a gap year to pursue on MBA.

Northwestern has one as well.
[One-Year MBA Program at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University](One-Year MBA Program | Accelerated MBA | Kellogg School)

Cornell one year program:[Johnson at Cornell | Accelerated MBA - Complete Your MBA in One Year](MBA Programs: Full-Time MBA Degrees | Cornell Johnson)

Columbia has a 1.5 year program: [Columbia Business School MBA Program : Options and Deadlines](http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/mba/admissions/options)

Most of these programs do not require any prior formal work experience for MD students. Also one program director, they told me that undergraduate curriculum is looked at closely to see if you will be accepted, but GMAT score are used in scholarship consideration. A few of these programs may give you full tuition off should you have a sufficiently high GMAT score.

Sorry for sending you this information so late, and for not being able to send you more specific information. Your S should just find the email address of the directors of one year MBA programs at these 4 schools, and ask them any specific questions that he may have. That is what I did, and I was able to get a lot of information about different programs at these 4 schools.
