Underwhelming how? You’re dealing with the most complex industry with real (patient lives) at stake- even if indirect. Slow moving? Yes. Would I rather be working here than analyzing market potential of a new downey product? Yes

I have been in healthcare for 10 years. I would like to try something else, but don’t know how to make the transition to any other industry. I like to think I can do any type of process improvement, but how do you get people to take you seriously? I’ll be over qualified to start over as an intern. Appreciate any tips

Same here - 9/10 years also. Seems to be a bit of common thread. I think those of us who started then saw ACA/HITECH come to life, anticipating and expecting drastic changes, but politicians are still trying to repeal the ACA, and even with all the new technology, healthcare is still struggling with a lot of what feels like old problems.

Currently a manager, reporting to VP. There’s a need to fill an open director position, who I would report to instead of directly to VP.

On one hand I can see how working under a director can be beneficial, where I can learn from their experience and have more time to focus more on my growth while in school. Shoot my shot?
