Received my MPH and then started working for PwC in their Healthcare Revenue Cycle practice two years ago. I really am starting to dislike the work particularly since it is not at all public CONT

You’re right to worry. Revenue Cycle, just like Quality and Process Improvement are all unique areas. Revenue cycle is great to know because if you ever make it to upper management, knowing how money is collected will be important. That being said, if you want to learn the operational side, then you need to transition and transition soon.
In my mind, there are 3 work streams in a hospital that are interrelated but the people within those workstreams rarely crossover, in terms of transitioning jobs. Finance/Accounting, Operations, Revenue Cycle. The further you get down the road, the hard to transition

MD1is on point. Revenue cycle is hard to break out off once it’s all you have on your resume. But it is also a very cushy job in a major hospital system should you decide to leave consulting.

Probably better to get promoted and leave a few months after. Better leverage for pay and position.

I’ve been in it now for 3 years and yes, it’s difficult to transition out. Would recommend you look sooner than later if you want to use your MPH. Also feel like the sector is ripe for disruption and something will make us all obsolete - these 100s of people to just purely gather patient info and bill seems inefficient!

Thanks all - am wondering if I can skew my experience towards operations since I am technically in Provider Ops when making the switch to industry I’ve been at the firm for two years now and am thinking of sticking it out one more year (for a promotion to SA which seems likely but I guess you never know) Thoughts on that or is the leave sooner rather than later still the logical approach here?

health related. Am I screwing myself by continuing to work in this practice if I eventually want to transition to an industry role (likely doing patient quality/process improvement work in a management role) or is revenue cycle experience/consulting still valued for that overall? Appreciate any help for a fellow fish in a minor existential crisis

Yes your degree is useless there. Go to a health system or ACO
