What Is Consulting? A Healthcare Consultant Perspective

I started a quick newsletter to talk about healthcare consulting here: scrubs2suits.beehiiv.com/
Once you sign up, you can respond back to the welcome email to get in touch with me 😊
---------------------------------
Consulting is one of those professions that's really hard to explain to others; I find that people are normally left more confused or bored after a verbal explanation. In this video, I do my best to break down what consulting is and what it actually looks like. Come figure out what I actually do for work!

    Hi! Thank you for creating this video, its been really helpful. I'm a medical graduate and I'm looking at healthcare consulting as an alternative to residency. If you dont mind, can you create a video centered around building a consulting resume as a medical doctor/graduate and how to leverage our skillset for consulting? Thank you !

    I have my MHA and will have my PMP soon. I do Healthcare Strategy Consulting independently so I could get rid of the overhead (prev. Gov contractor) and I LOVE listening to other consultants break things down and explain their processes. Doing this independently picking up on new techniques and other explanations of the basics is more helpful than you know. I plan to watch some of your other videos as well!

Yes I did leave medicine for consulting - I completed my Foundation Training in the NHS (equivalent to 2 years of general internship) then switched into consulting immediately afterwards (no additional schooling or degree in between the career change). Thank you so much for your kind words - let me know if you have any other questions!

    Yes absolutely - the industry experience you have is something that healthcare consulting practices really value. For your situation, it'd be about solidifying the reason why you'd want to move into healthcare consulting and demonstrating the skills needed to succeed in the job.

    Hi Madhu! I'll have more videos on this in the future, but essentially it was about leveraging my previous experience (a doctor) and applying it to the role. I researched the types of engagements the specific firm did and indicated how I might be a good fit. Prior to applying, I reached out to some team members to get a sense of the culture and environment as well. Hope that's helpful - there's more to share in the future!
