With that kind of background, you should shouldn’t have to develop any more hard skills. Understanding how the health care industry works would help. Why do you want to work in healthcare and any particular area?
OP, sounds like you should be looking at the population health space for opportunities. Lots of firms, big and boutique alike, doing work in this area. Common theme is basically using data to proactively engage patients before they require a major procedure. Getting more people in the door for preventative treatments leads to better health outcomes and lower costs all around.

We were responsible for taking their data and writing an algorithm that would predict which patients to check up on if they didn’t schedule a return appointment and analyzing why people don’t schedule return appointments. Not sure what particular area that would fall under, but I want more of this kind of work
