Hi,
I am a clinical pharmacist hoping to transition into consulting. I currently work in specialty clinical development at a PBM and have over 10 years professional experience. I know I have transferable skills but I am struggling to get my foot in the door with no consulting experience. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!

One thing i know my Pharmacy customers would pay for is to teach them how to effectively audit insurance payments , and if claims are underpaid, go back and somehow get that money out of PBMs. (I know. I know). Or compare fine print in PBM contracts and direct accs and maybe get some insurances direct contact- if that makes sense.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
