Your impact within our firm
You will participate in client engagements focused on healthcare value, including the development of clinical policy improvement solutions and innovative payment models with the goal of making healthcare better, more affordable, and more accessible for millions of people around the world.
In this role, you will participate in and, in some cases, lead the development of recommendations and advise teams on evidence-based medicine, clinical practice, and healthcare policies. You will also represent the CARE team, together with other senior McKinsey colleagues, in public-facing forums including conferences and expert panels and engage in authorship of the Healthcare Practice’s related articles for peer-review and other external publications.
You’ll work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement. This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating, and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You’ll also have the opportunity to present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. This role is ideal for clinicians who seek to become proficient in the business of medicine.
You will serve on client project teams alongside traditional consultants, gaining broad exposure to health care businesses and business problems. You will receive extensive day-to-day mentorship and apprenticeship from senior consultants.
