I watched many healthcare consultancy videos but yours is the only one that provided an example of a project and helped me understand exactly what your job entails! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your experiences! I have been working as more of a biomedical engineer/innovator and am now about to join a new role in healthcare strategy consulting. I'm excited to see that you are enjoying your job and appreciated you outlining the difference between management v. strategy consulting!
thank you for the amazing video, Dr. Can you please make a video about the application process for a PhD in Healthcare management, how to build curriculum etc? i have an MBA in digital marketing for healthcare and i'm trying to jump forward to a PhD in health management. thank you for your time!
This is a very useful video. Can you please share more the interview preparation process, how long one needs to practice the case interview, how a healthcare CV 7 cover letter should be. I'm a masters student and looking forward to a career in lifescience consulting
I’m glad I found this gem! I have a BS in Psyc and worked as a behavior tech before resigning to begin nursing school, yet I’ve grow real curious on consulting! Are you aware of any areas of healthcare consulting that might be suitable for me? I appreciate any feedback!
Hi Joe, glad to hear you are interested! Healthcare consulting is quite broad. As long as you have background in healthcare (which you do), you can work in any fields as long as you are interested and prepared!
Hi Dr. Cat, it was incredible to come across your video. I am an aspiring MBA/Management professional with a 7years of experience in public health domain. I wanted to get into management consultancy in the public healthcare sector but have been finding it difficult to pin on to a particular course. I was wondering if I get a chance to speak to you and clarify some doubts to help me move forward. Will await your response, thanks !
@@drcatslab, thanks for reverting. I wanted to understand the prospects of doing a MBA and then getting into consultant management or should I get into a specialised program in Public Health directly to get to the managaemnt position.
What advice do you have for someone that doesn’t have a background in healthcare? 10+ years in government (management & operations), will begin an MBA program this fall. Looking to get my foot in the door now.
You can also try general management consulting if that interests you. Regarding healthcare, try some internships and volunteer work that are related to healthcare (biotech, hospital etc.). During your MBA, continue networking and trying to accumulate more healthcare experience. Good luck!
Hi, I'm currently a clinical pharmacist for UCLA health and another hospital. I have a friend that's a pharmacist that just got into consulting. Do you mind sharing a little bit about career advancement opportunities? Also, the pay and benefits package if you don't mind? I personally haven't had to use a PowerPoint or excel sheet in 9 years haha do you have to be an expert in those softwares? Thank you in advance!
Hey! Thanks for the questions! The typical career trajectory in consulting is “consultant”-“engagement manager”-“assistant partner”-“partner”. In different firms the titles can be different but it’s the same idea. Total package varies depends on the company and the level-great topic and I will have a future video talking about this! For Microsoft office, it’s better to know basics and if u enter consulting at more junior levels, then you need to know how to make slides and navigate excel. Those are all great questions and I will def address these in future videos!
@@drcatslab Thank you so much!!! My current plan is to apply to a consulting firm in about 3-4 months. My brother thinks I'm dumb since I know I will probably be taking a pay cut going into a different field. But the pay isn't everything, especially if the career advancement is good. I look forward to your new video! Oh, in your new video, could you also answer if you need an MBA for better career advancement? Thank you!
Hi I want to become healthcare stratergy consultant and have 10 years of healthcare sales experience.Could you please guide me what soft skills and academic knowledge require for that?
Hi! If you have experience in sales, I’m sure you have great skills in communication and client management. Consulting will require all that plus strategic thinking and industry knowledge in healthcare. If you go to job description, you will find detailed descriptions on the requirements. Good luck!
You can find a list in Vault ranking for boutique consulting and look only the healthcare focused ones. Unfortunately there is no exhaustive list anywhere. You have to do your own diligence on which firm suits your interest.
Hi Dr. Cats, appreciate this upload :0 I'm about to earn MBA with concentration in Health Services. I have developed my interest in sailing to the career direction of healthcare consultant, like you are doing right now. Would you mind Linkedin networking with me? Thanks!

Either way works. Not just the degree, you need past consulting or industry experience to get into the management position
