Any advice for someone who wants to excel in healthcare consulting? I want to get into this field and have a career. I'm talking about things as simple as books, podcasts, or anything at all that will help me to understand the ins and outs of healthcare consulting. I currently work for a boutique consulting firm doing market access and analytics in the healthcare space, so I'm pretty well-versed in the healthcare space.

Gain a clear understanding of how the drug is ordered, stocked, and utilized. Familiarize yourself with the patient experience, including their treatment and diagnostic journey.

Eric Bricker, MD posts some good content on LinkedIn and is worth following. Understanding the healthcare landscape and how stakeholders impact each other (pharma and med devices, payers, PBMs, patients, etc.) is a great step.

Follow any big regulatory changes so you know what’s top of mind for your stakeholders.

You can always start with the simple but obvious 'reading the regulations'. But there are a lot of unwritten rules in this field that you'll only learn about and run into as you do the job.

Find a problem and solve it then

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help

What are some good practices during the sales phase of a potential project to execute before the contract is signed? Seems obvious but would love some ideas on standard operating procedures that help with seamlessly handing over a signed contract to the account team.
