[@ChristinaHarrisRCM]

Thanks for the video. Im looking to gear in consulting. I've been in the revenue cycle industry for 15+ years with my AS and working on my BA. Im in Healthcare Compliance now as an auditor.

[@gunnybear77]

I will love to shadow you via online for at least three days to see exactly what you do on an everyday basis. I really want to move in a new role doing this type of work.

Love your content!

Hi, thank you so much, through your video, I learned about the new career path. Do you consult a doctor during the process of opening a medical office?

[@withtheshums]

Yes, some smaller consulting firms may support doctors / dentists to open up an office. However, this would be quite rare due to cost.

[@AnushaKhan-ok8vl]

Also very inspiring .

I really enjoyed this video as I’m considering working in healthcare consulting as well. I’m finishing bachelor’s in healthcare admin and separating from the military soon. I worked in emergency medicine. I was wondering what your opinion would be on getting into the industry at age 27 and with a family? Would there be a lot of travel involved?

[@withtheshums]

that's actually quite a common age to join consulting, especially coming from industry. most of the time 'experienced' hires are older than their counterparts, but not by much. you won't be an exception if that's what you're worried about! in terms of travel, currently there is not much (due to COVID). it is still unclear if travel will return - COVID has really pushed the industry to think of client site visits differently.

[@KD-wh1mi]

@@withtheshums thanks for the insight! Are you familiar with any popular firms around the Southern California area? Trying to figure out a good way to start searching.

[@depressedguy495]

I am a doctor I want to do an internship first in healthcare consultant role what would you suggest me.?

[@jpasta90]

I am currently 6 years in as a nurse, 2 of those in management. Currently finished an MBA. If I was to start in consulting would I have to start from the bottom? Or would my previous professional years count for something?

[@Snailseason1]

What was your concentration for your MPH?

[@yadavmahendra6161]

I hold a bpharm degree how can i enter in this field??

[@Lucifer-kw6ry]

Im a doctor applying to Healthcare associate in McKinsey and currently taking the online assessment, Solve. Do u think the content of the assessment would go towards healthcare assessment like"diseases management" mini game considering the position im applying to?

[@withtheshums]

Unlikely - the gamification of the interview process is really designed to test your logic and thinking abilities. They may be a healthcare designed one, but I wouldn't count on it!

[@Lucifer-kw6ry]

Thanks for the reply, i took it a month ago and it was eco-system and red rock

[@withtheshums]

@@Lucifer-kw6ry what was your experience like? do you think it was effective in testing your problem solving skills?

[@Lucifer-kw6ry]

@@withtheshums absolutely, specially the ecosystem. I have other opinion thu for the red rock part😒. But my opinion is biased 😆cuz my background isn't finance or business even tho i tried to study hard for it.

[@mejirayu2363]

What company are you working for ?

[@edk487]

How many hours do you work a week. I have heard that consultant can work up to 60 hours depending on the project

[@withtheshums]

It's true! Very project and deadline dependent. What I would say is that it all balances out - some weeks you'd hit that 60 hour mark (week leading up to a deliverable being due), while others might be closer to 40 hours.

[@edk487]

@@withtheshums is consulting still very travel heavy, I heard from some people that they are still remote.

[@withtheshums]

@@edk487 It definitely used to be before the pandemic. Expectation was to either go to the client site or go to the office. But now that the precedent (and realization) that things can be done virtually, I think it'd shifting the industry away from travelling as often. Certainly in healthcare consulting, hospitals / providers don't want unnecessary staff on site, so I'd expect it to be remote for me for the next foreseeable future.

Hi . Iam currently pursuing mba in healthcare . Iam interested ij working for healthcare consultancy industry. Can i connect to you on linkedin

[@m.wilkinson9559]

I wanted to know what a day looked like PROFESSIONALLY for a healthcare consultant. I don't need to nor do I want to see you go into an elevator and make yourself a cup of coffee. I want to know what your job looks like on a typical day, not what an office job looks like. You wasted 1 minute of the video with stuff that was irrelevant. In future, try to keep the video relevant to the actual point of the video. If it would end up as a 3 minute video then that's fine, you would have contributed something valuable. No one cares about the nitty gritty of things like walking to the office or making coffee. If I searched for a day in the life of a "XXXX" then I'm really only interested in the job-related aspects.
