Spotlight student: Dr. Wilbur Boothby
Tell us a little about yourself.
As a former Navy brat, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures around the world. Originally from Southern California, I used this great nation for over 16 years in the US army, both as a gang member and as an officer. I am the first in my family to earn not only an undergraduate degree, but to excel in medical school by obtaining a doctorate in podiatric medicine. I also obtained a Masters in Public Health 
Why did you decide to earn an MHA degree?
In order to advance the health care system of hosts, I need a master's in health administration. MHA @ GW allowed me to pursue this degree without having to leave my current position.
Why did you choose the MHA @ GW program?
During my extensive research programs MHA possible, I wanted to make sure I could still fulfill my duties and responsibilities at work without sacrificing the enrichment of my mind. One thing that separated MHA @ GW other programs was the fact that its content was multidimensional. Video conferencing and live sessions face to face gave exciting experiences and discussions. Quality content of GW program, in my mind, has exceeded its competitors.
Did you have any reservations about this degree online?
No. I actually look forward to this method. My time in the army is always unpredictable and turbulent, so that online delivery gives me the flexibility I need to complete my homework and reading, while allowing me to fulfill my responsibilities in the army.
What excites you most about the program?
I really enjoy hearing so effective health care administrators and miscellaneous. It gives me a balanced perspective of success and failure that I would not be able to obtain independently. I especially like the signs of videos, including interviews accomplished instructor health administrators on issues that relate to our course material.
What was your favorite part of the experience MHA @ GW?
The ability to choose the minds of successful business leaders and health care administrators only played a decisive role. I also love the peer group assignments. The opportunity to dissect and analyze the strategic planning of various health care organizations worldwide is invaluable - so the fact that I have access to diverse views of my classmates on these issues has adds to the value of this
program.What do you hope to accomplish on graduation?
Finally, I would like to bring what I learn with MHA @ GW at VA health care system. My whole life was saturated with military culture, and nothing would be better than continuing to serve our nation and my brothers and sisters in arms. Despite the current chaos, I still believe there is a way to correct the direction of the VA health care system - and for me, education is the first step
What must- I know about you. ?
Being a doctor was not necessarily my first dream career. Some of my favorite television shows inspired my career aspirations - for example, I liked "Baywatch" and dreamed of being on the show, or at least the rescuers on the sunny beaches of California. All this has been broken once I thought I could not swim or water. Devastated that I could not work alongside Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff, I began to explore other options. So I moved to become a doctor after watching the television series Doogie Howser.
