In a landmark move to solve the “leadership deficit” in the medical field, Harley and Wall Business and Healthcare Consulting, alongside D’BusinessDoctor Mentorship Academy, has inked a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nexford University, a Washington DC-based pioneer in online higher education.
The Hybrid Professional: Clinical Skill Meets Business Brilliance For too long, Nigeria’s healthcare professionals have faced a difficult choice: abandon their local practices to pursue international education or stay at home and miss out on global management standards. This partnership dissolves that barrier. By bringing US-accredited degrees to Nigeria via a fully online, self-paced model, doctors, nurses, and hospital administrators can now earn an MBA with a specialization in Healthcare Management without resigning or relocating.
Key Highlights of the Partnership:
-
Seamless Integration: Designed for working professionals, the program allows practitioners to study while remaining active in their clinics and communities.
-
Fast-Track for Alumni: Graduates of the Healthcare Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Management Programme (H-LEMP) and D’BusinessDoctor Academy enjoy streamlined admission into Nexford’s advanced degree tracks.
-
Future-Ready Curriculum: Beyond healthcare management, the partnership opens doors to specialized Master’s degrees in Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, and Sustainability.
A Global Solution for Local Impact Dr. Ademolu Owoyele, CEO of Harley and Wall and founder of D’BusinessDoctor Mentorship Academy, noted that the collaboration is about more than just a certificate—it’s about building a pipeline of “medical entrepreneurs” who can run sustainable, world-class facilities in Nigeria.
Mr. Uwem Ekanem, Nexford’s Regional Director, echoed this sentiment, stating that strengthening management capacity is the secret ingredient to building a resilient healthcare system. When hospital heads understand balance sheets and organizational design as well as they understand anatomy, the entire patient experience improves.
The Bottom Line This alliance isn’t just an educational upgrade; it’s a strategic effort to stem the “brain drain” by providing “brain gain” right here at home. Through a trackable, transparent admissions process, Nigerian healthcare practitioners are now one click away from a Washington DC education that empowers them to lead, innovate, and transform the nation’s medical landscape.
