Strategic Growth MBKU recently launched the Doctor of Medical Science program in May 2025, indicating ongoing expansion of postgraduate offerings and interprofessional education capabilities. This presents opportunities to offer learning management, simulation training, and allied health software solutions tailored to new degree programs and clinical training activities.

Healthcare Tech Adjacent With a tech stack spanning Epic Systems, Azure, Power BI, Drupal/WordPress, and analytics tools, MBKU demonstrates a mature orientation toward health IT, data analytics, and digital engagement. Sales opportunities exist in EHR optimization, data integration, analytics dashboards, and patient/ alumni engagement platforms.

Interprofessional Education MBKU houses multiple health programs (optometry, PA studies, pharmacy) and operates two eye care centers. This creates cross-disciplinary collaboration needs for education tech, scheduling, telehealth, and clinic management solutions that support interprofessional training and patient-centric care delivery.

Private Nonprofit Niche As a private, nonprofit institution with modest revenue and a smaller staff, MBKU may prioritize high-impact, cost-effective solutions, non-commercial licensing, and scalable offerings (e.g., cloud-based training, compliance modules) that demonstrate strong ROI while aligning with mission-driven values.

Executive and Governance Notable leadership changes and partnerships in recent years (dean appointments, agency leadership, and collaborations) signal openness to external programs and strategic initiatives. This presents openings for executive-level partnerships, professional education programs, and consulting services aligned with governance and accreditation requirements.
