Anyone considered doing an MHA after getting the CPA? Would healthcare consulting/healthcare admin be a good career? Could you be a shoe in for a hospital CFO/COO?

The CEO of my company (boutique M&A and Rx shop) got his masters in public health, MBA and Doctor of medicine concurrently (he’s not a CPA). He leveraged that to then serve as CEO, Chairman, COO and CFO positions of numerous Fortune 500 healthcare companies in the past.

So you are saying I’m no match.

I’m not saying your no match - that’s besides the point. It would make you more well-rounded but it’s really not necessary. Working in healthcare consulting within an interim management role would be the quickest path to a hospital CFO/COO. I’m only 28 and have already served in a Director level Finance role for various hospitals and other healthcare-related companies without having a background in the industry. Enough of these experiences is an easy path to C-Suite offers.

Hello,

Long time fishbowl lurker, first time poster.

I work in Healthcare consulting (8 yoe). I'm incredibly passionate about Healthcare and have thought a lot about how to make meaningful changes that keep people healthy and how it can be affordable and accessible to all. I know Google has been operating in the Healthcare market. Anyone here open to connect so I can learn more about its current activities/future plans? I'd like to see if there's a role that I'd be a good fit for.

Thank you!
