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!

This has been the most simple and helpful explanation I have heard. Thank you for this.
oh thank you!! this is very helpful
We love the energy, keep up the good work!
VERY INFORMATIVE!!!! WOOT
Awesome content! Am a medical student at Cambridge considering a switch to consulting!
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!

Hello. I need help with this question. I'm new to health care consulting and I want to know, what training and skills do I need to have, to excel in healthcare consulting. You talked about data analysis. What specific training should I look to get?
i bet you, the number one solution to a major portion of healthcare woes (like those falls) is BETTER STAFFING. hospitals be stretching nurses THIN. better pay and staffing, that's all there is to it

Did you leave medicine for consulting? If so, at what part in your training? Wishing you the best in your career!

Hi Seda! 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!
Lol i think I do this and didn't even realize bc we don't call it tht
Question: Do you generally utilize a report or a presentation? or both?
@withtheshums

Depends on the situation and deliverable, but it's usually a presentation! 🙂
Thank you for this helpful video. Do you think someone with a bachelors degree and several years of healthcare experience would be knowledgeable enough to become a healthcare consultant?

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. I'll be posting more about this in the future!

Really informative video, thanks so much! I’m a fellow UK doctor also interested in healthcare consulting, I was wondering if you would be open to chatting to me about it - I’d really appreciate it considering our similar backgrounds. Do you have an email address we could connect through? I can’t see one in your about section (just the newsletter) thank you ☺️

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!
you mentioned big 4 wrongly
Hey Jonnathan, its great to see your videos on your work, although I have few queries,......I would realy like to know what did you study to get into healthcare consultant? I have been working as a product designer working in public heatlth from the past 8yrs of my professional life and would really like to move into consulting (specifically healthcare). I would really appreciate if you could take some time out and respond !

I didn't do any additional study - I transitioned straight from medicine to consulting. No MBA or other degree.
Consulting, the art of telling someone the time with their own watch and making it look like you did an impossible task worth charging them thousands or millions of dollars.
Awesome video! Very succinct and well put together. Would love to connect on LinkedIn! I’m a current federal healthcare consultant.
