Hello! I’m a clinical healthcare worker and am currently working on a master’s in finance to pivot to healthcare consulting.

I’m trying to get an internship next summer (I have the time off work) but am having difficulty finding internships for non-MBA master’s degree candidates. (I have a clinical MA and doctorate & it’s been an auto-reject from analyst internships.)

Would anyone be willing to connect for internships or work for companies that love non-traditional candidates? Thank you

Take my comment with a big grain of salt (there is no right way to map anyone’s career).

Reading about your background, I felt there are too many unknowns and more questions than answers. Why a MiF (over an MBA, especially if consulting is the next immediate goal)? What is your exit plan and long-term career goal after consulting? Why consulting in the first place (over, for example, hospital administration)? None of these things are immediately clear. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but a non-traditional background means you need to be able to deliver your story (why/how of your professional trajectory). You should be able to distill this message within a few sentences (an elevator pitch, if you will).

Thank you for such a thoughtful response. Completely fair questions and ones I asked myself too!

I picked an MiF for a few reasons. Most importantly I wanted to enhance my quant skills, love finance, and wanted to get into a degree that opened doors to career paths that were previously unavailable. I also don’t have the ability to stop working while I go back to school full time and the part time MBAs in my area left something to be desired regarding networking opportunities and ROI.

I love the variety of projects that consulting offers and the ability to meet many different types of people and orgs where they’re at. A team of consultants were brought into my work and in a short time were able to overhaul in a way I had never seen before and I was inspired. Hoping to eventually move into healthcare VC and find ways to bring access to more people.
