I was lucky enough to use my networking and I have an internal conversation with a healthcare consultant at one of the big four consulting firms. Im hoping that this will lead to a referral for a job position. I have no experience in consulting as I work directly in patient care. Any advice on how to lead this conversation or questions I should be prepared to ask or answer would be truly amazing. I am really hoping to this will be my in!

Reading up on healthcare related case studies for consulting and understanding what different perspectives you can bring in as NP may be a good way to show your value for a potential position. Interesting so many healthcare professionals want to pivot into consulting while there are consultants who want to pivot to healthcare 😂 Grass is always greener on the other side I guess. Best of luck though!

That’s a great idea! I appreciate the advice. I’ve been in healthcare for 9 plus years so I’m ready for a change!

Take a look to see if there are any open roles that could be possibly relevant to your expertise prior to the conversation and maybe outline a few points as to why you’d be a good fit for the position and how your experience compliments the role. Usually, consultants in my experience have been very open to referrals and also really like healthcare providers because they provide such an important perspective. I think this is also a great opportunity for you to learn more about the firm and the interview process, so ask any questions you may have at that point. Good luck!

Can DM and I can look internally for you. I would highlight how well you can work in teams, communication, leading teams, being solution driven, team player and executing (I know it’s not 1:1 comparing patients to executing on projects but you can marry that somehow to say, you’re almost always on call and it’s your duty to ensure your patients (in this case client) comes first. 😊
