I studied to be a healthcare professional at University - working in consulting soon will be a big change. How was your first year in consulting and what would you have loved to know in hindsight?

I guess I can provide some perspective as someone who came from clinical medicine and wants to go back. This job is dependent on what you want out of life. If you value patient care experiences, and the humanity aspect of being a clinician then I don’t think you will like this job. I took this job to learn more about the business side of healthcare and I’ve found that more often than not I’m stuck doing some implementation (granted your project experience may vary). So for me the work isn’t fulfilling and you work unreasonably long hours. But I’m also biased because I love clinical medicine and want to go back
