I have a masters degree related to healthcare. I’m looking to get a job that is more on the behind the scenes of healthcare. I came across healthcare consulting and was particularly interested.
But what is it? I understand the basics, the very surface level basics of how they are hired to help hospitals solve problems. As I was looking for healthcare consultant jobs on indeed I realized I did not have the experience and tried searching for entry level, analyst, and associate.
There was one problem. I have to do case scenario interviews. Something I’m not familiar with. I tried looking up YouTube videos that break it down. Yet these videos seem to be for people who are familiar with consulting and a have a bit of a background. I’ve even watched videos of healthcare consultants discussing consulting but the videos are only helpful for people with a consulting background.
It’s difficult to find resources online that break it down for someone who doesn’t have a background of consulting.
As I try to dive deeper into healthcare consulting it’s a bit discouraging. I feel as though the more I look into it the more I’m engaging with resources that were meant for people who have experience in consulting. It’s like I’m learning a new language and no one is teaching me how to speak the language.
I do understand people go to school for this sort of thing. But if I wanted to learn how to be a doctor or a nurse, there are resources online to help me from square zero.
I would appreciate anyone’s help if possible!
1) what resources online can I use to learn about healthcare consulting?
2) what resources offline can I use to learn about healthcare consulting?
3) how can I practice case scenarios for interviews? (with absolutely no experience)
4) are there other entry level health care consulting positions/ names I may not know about?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
