Would getting a masters in health administration be worth it in terms of helping me get into healthcare law? I have transactional experience but no health law experience.

It is more helpful than no MHA, but it is neither necessary nor sufficient to breaking through. Start working on your ‘why healthcare’ answer and backing it up with CLEs, presentations/articles on healthcare-adjacent transactional topics, or applying broadly with a strong cover letter describing the portability of your transactional skills.

The MHA is really more business/operations focused than legal. A few friends have a JD/MHA and it helped them secure great in house positions at hospital systems, but they had law firm experience as well. What is your transactional experience like? If in private equity, tons of HC activity there and I’d think you could find a firm (including mine) that would want to bring you on as a joint corporate/healthcare transactional associate to help run those deals. Join AHLA and get involved—lots of great CLE programs and connections to make there.

Not really necessary. It takes a boss willing to take a chance on you that you’ll be willing to learn the healthcare environment. Your transactional experience is already valuable to an in-house setting. Check out American Health Lawyers Association. They have a CLE called Fundamentals of Healthcare Law that’s geared to those new to healthcare, but also a good refresher for anyone. Maybe attend that or sign up for their boot camp CLEs on Stark Law. Those should help show any future employer that you’re trying to dive in and learn healthcare law. Good luck!
