Healthcare Consulting in Canada: MBB, Big 4 or boutique firms?

Healthcare consulting is not a large field in Canada, given we don’t have real local pharma companies (ok yeah Apotex) and the entire industry is not privatized. The only healthcare cases I’ve been on were in the US. I’d imagine it would be tough to specialize in that at a MBB, and Big 4 pays like crap, so boutique may be your best bet.

Agreed! There are also lots of public sector clients focused on healthcare if that’s your thing, but generally not the same as the US

Our practice is more in the US but we have some folks who make it work for sure. They travel lots (pre covid) would expect to be on the road a lot.

In Canada? Toronto would have the most - Also- I assume you bundle pharma into your definition of healthcare..... ? I can think of a few in other offices too
