Experienced Project Manager with a background in Customer Success, looking to transition into healthcare. Many roles require Epic experience, which is hard to gain without hospital work. Seeking advice on how to break into the industry without clinical or Epic background. Any tips on entry points, certifications, or strategies that helped others make this shift?

You don’t need Epic to start, you need a foot in the door. Target roles like “project coordinator” or “practice operations manager” at smaller health orgs or vendors. Also, get certified in HIPAA and lean into your PM + customer success skills. Have you searched for healthcare-adjacent tech firms or insurance providers hiring for PMs?

Agree. Landing your ideal role at the very beginning isn’t the norm. Try to work your way to it

In an auto accident trial, can you inform the jury in any way that the at-fault driver had insurance?

My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?
