Super interesting job! It’s nice to get an idea of other health related jobs out. I’m starting to try and figure out what jobs I want to apply to once I’m done with my MPH in December. There’s never enough time.. I work full time, have classes and an internship. It can definitely lead to burnout… but it definitely helps to just talk with someone, doesn’t even have to be a professional. Best of luck! Just a tip, it may be better to look at the camera and not the screen while filming. I always feel like you’re talking to someone beside more or behind me and I try to move my iPad to get in eye line… then realize it’s a video haha
Congrats on finishing your MPH soon! And it definitely feels like there’s never enough time, take a moment to just celebrate when you finish in December ☺️
Wow you’re really shaking the room for me! I’m a undergrad trying to decide between becoming a doctor or health care consulting. Consulting looks so fun but being a doctor seems so cool and a challenge I’d love to take on.! Sigh… decisions decisions.
It’s a big decision! And one you should give a lot of thought to before embarking down the long road of medical school, residency, etc. Maybe try out consulting after you graduate and if you decide you still want to go into medicine, you have a great gap year story! Check out this video on gap years: ua-cam.com/video/-bJNrhD_72Q/v-deo.html
Love this video, of course! Would love to know any strategies you used to get this job or just what to do to get a job in consulting? I’m very interested in consulting!!(:
I got this job by going to a career fair hosted by my MPH program (even though I was an alumni at the time). As much as I hate this expression and what it stands for, it really is who you know not what so take advantage of any networking!
@@MomentsInMed thank you for this comment, I am about to start my MPH program and I am sooo confused on if I should go for the MPH or social work program. Plus I think I am interested in public health consulting.
Typically there is a decent amount of travel required but that was paused for about a year due to the pandemic. We are just now starting to travel again to client sites on occasion
Thank for making this video, currently studying Biochem in the UK and I’m really interested in going down thus route. Do u think a masters in medical law or public health will help increase chances? Subscribed!❤️❤️
It could definitely be helpful but is CERTAINLY NOT required. I am the only person at my level in the firm with a masters so you can definitely get hired without a graduate degree.
Can you do a video on how you landed this position and skills u think helped u in landing this position? I am looking into health consulting and a host of others, I will be graduating with my healthcare administration bachelors degree in about 6 months or so from now. I would appreciate a response from you please!
First, congratulations! Regarding skills, I think the main things are project management, communication/interpersonal skills, and critical thinking/problem solving.
how did you know you wanted to major in this? im currently a nursing major in my second year but im kinda having a mid-life crisis where i'm not sure if what i'm doing is what I want, i've been researching other branches of healthcare and healthcare consultant really intrigues me 🙂
Hi, thank you for this video and congratulations on landing that job! I'm currently in high school and torn between a bachelor's in healthcare management and health information management. In your opinion, which one would be better undergrad degree if I want to go into healthcare consulting in the future? also, subscribed
Either would be good! The more important thing is to do well and enjoy your classes so feel it out during your first-second year (maybe take 1 entry level elective in each major) and then decide on the one you enjoy more
Hi there! Random overly specific question for you. I actually went to dental school right after graduating college and now I’m in my fourth year, but after reaching the more intensive clinical part of the schooling I’ve had a revelation that this career is just not for me (late I know) I still plan to graduate at this point since I’m so close, but do you think my DDS in tandem with my undergrad degree in science would make me a strong candidate for a job in healthcare consulting? I don’t have any formal business or job experience, but because of dental school I have a stronger background in clinic operations, insurance, coding, etc than the average joe. Any advice would be appreciated, good luck with the mcat studying, it’s a miserable few months that you’ll be thankful you toughed out in the long run :)
Hey! While your dental degree will certainly give you a leg up in some situations. I can only speak on how my firm approaches this type of situation and I can say that they do not often hire people straight out of medical/dental school because you don’t have the applicable skills but have too high of a degree for them to hire you into an entry level position. Basically you cost too much for the skills you can provide, if that makes sense. This might not be the case everywhere though! I would say try to find experience in the industry that you want to consult in and then switch to the consulting side at a higher position title.
@@MomentsInMed thank you so much for the reply! When you say find experience, do you mean in the consulting part field or just the field in general? Like if I want to do healthcare consulting, would my 2-3 years of working as a student in a teaching clinic apply?
Could you please help me find a internship in healthcare consultant I am a doctor I have a degree from Central America health sciences university I am not interested in clinical practice this job looks cool to me so please guide as I have no experience in healthcare consulting
Do you know of any opportunities that may involve working while getting your MPH? Meaning, do you know any programs or companies that might potentially pay for you to go to school or something similar to gain the experience while getting your Masters!
The starting offer at my firm (small, NYC-based, health insurance covered) for someone with a masters was 65k when I started. I had direct work experience in a niche field so I was offered 67k and negotiated to 70k. Coming straight from undergrad (no masters degree) the starting offer was probably around 60k
Hii! love the video!! I wanted to know if you need a masters for this kind of job? I am studying public health and business administration. I am thinking of getting into healthcare administration. Any tips in landing a job like yours? What key words would you recommend to look for when searching for internships?
You definitely don’t need a master’s! I will say that if you are searching for “healthcare administration” you will get hospital positions, not really consulting. Really take advantage of networking opportunities and even reach out to people on LinkedIn who have jobs you’re interested in and ask for an informational interview!
wait i love this. i’m a high school senior and have to decide what i want to do like right now. i definitely want to do something in science but my main concern is salary. i read somewhere that starting salary for undergrads is 80,000 in the us and can go up to 150 k in 5 or more years. is this true?
First, you DO NOT have to decide what you’re going to do for the rest of your life right now. You should (within reason) follow your passions and I promise you you will find your niche and find a way to make it your career and sustain your life. The numbers you list here sound high for an overall average but may be correct in certain fields (e.g., computer science, engineering) and geographic regions (i.e., large urban areas)
Her MPH from Columbia serves as the foundation for her healthcare-related knowledge. Note, the MPH is very broad, so a good deal of networking and marketing of oneself is of the utmost importance.
Great video!! I have a B.S in Business management and economics and minor in Healthcare management. Yrying to get into this field. I keep getting rejections. Its so discouraging. Also, do you travel alot with rhis company?
Job hunting can be so stressful, frustrating, and discouraging. Definitely try working with your undergrad career services office if you have access to that. Regarding the travel, most consulting travel was suspended due to COVID but many companies have begun semi-regular travel again as of 2022
You can get a healthcare consulting job straight out of undergrad for sure! Just make sure you can display critical thinking and project management skills in your application/interviews
Typically those with doctoral level degrees (like pharmacy) go into the industry side of things (e.g., a pharmaceutical company) and then might transition into consulting later in their career.
I would say you need a decent level of tech literacy (e.g., good understanding of basic software like Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, etc.) but certainly do not need a degree in computer science or anything like that!
hi! what did you major in? im currently having trouble choosing a career path for myself but found interest in healthcare consulting. i would love if you helped me with some tips on what to major in since i have no experience in buisness and other related topics. thank you :]
You definitely don’t need a business degree for healthcare consulting. It’s more about your concrete skills from work/volunteer/research experience than your major so do what you love and you’ll find the right place for you!
Thank you for sharing. It’s great to get a behind the scenes look at healthcare related jobs that are not as readily known.
There are so many great healthcare related jobs out there! Glad I could share one

I have a Question what you study in College/ university to become a Healthcare consultant please?
Her MPH from Columbia serves as the foundation for her healthcare-related knowledge. Note, the MPH is very broad, so a good deal of networking and marketing of oneself is of the utmost importance.
Great video!! I have a B.S in Business management and economics and minor in Healthcare management. Yrying to get into this field. I keep getting rejections. Its so discouraging. Also, do you travel alot with rhis company?

Regarding the travel, most consulting travel was suspended due to COVID but many companies have begun semi-regular travel again as of 2022
I have a degree in business with a background in medical customer service and care coordination. How do I become a consultant?
It’s all about the right networking and finding the right opportunities for your interests!
Can I get into healthcare consulting with just my bachelors in biology? Or can you tell me what I would need to do to get the job in this field?
i’m majoring in biology and i’m looking into this too!
You can get a healthcare consulting job straight out of undergrad for sure! Just make sure you can display critical thinking and project management skills in your application/interviews
Biology degree, with some finance courses, is marketable to enter into the field. Note, a great deal of networking is of the utmost importance.
I am a student, becoming pharmacist, is there any scope for me in ur place?
Typically those with doctoral level degrees (like pharmacy) go into the industry side of things (e.g., a pharmaceutical company) and then might transition into consulting later in their career.
you're so cute and I'm also an introvert 🤗
Do you have concentrate in something specific in an MPH in order to become a healthcare consultant?
Nope! You don’t even need the MPH (although it can be helpful)
do you have to be techy (IT) to work this job or can you work this with a regular health human service degree
I would say you need a decent level of tech literacy (e.g., good understanding of basic software like Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, etc.) but certainly do not need a degree in computer science or anything like that!
