Not necessarily bad to be first / early though!

Agree with others, relatively weak but a huge focus. Helping build it out could be a great opportunity vs being just another MD at McK/BCG
Coach
Relatively weak. McK and BCG are much more advanced in MD hiring and healthcare sector work.
Thanks!

Can confirm it's pretty small. They're working on closing the gap, but it is pretty big at this point. In fact, BCG and McKinsey have had formal recruiting programs for MD/PhD/JD for several years, and Bain just started it in the last couple of years.
What sort of opportunities would lie for me as a current PhD student in public health & eng? Very interested in health/mgmt consulting.
Coach
There are a lot of opportunities. You can start by applying to one of the MBB summer programs or one of the many Life Sciences/Health care boutiques. EY-P also has a program for Healthcare/Life sciences PhD students amongst the T2 firms. A lot of it depends on if you have access to on campus recruiting, where you're in your PhD program and in your interview preparation.
Thanks for the above 😊
