Sloan Program in Health Administration
Career Field: Healthcare Management Consulting
I’m a healthcare management consultant with a boutique firm, Veralon, based in Philadelphia. Although “management consultant” encompasses any role that I could ever imagine fulfilling, I spend most of my time advising hospitals, health systems, and physician enterprises on a full spectrum of merger and transaction-related initiatives, from full-blown consolidations (mergers) to innovative joint venture arrangements.
How did Human Ecology prepare you for your career field? Most of the healthcare “business” problems that my clients face are really just highly-nuanced general “business” problems. Human Ecology’s emphasis on interdisciplinary, which is manifested in no better place than the diverse Sloan community, makes for an exceptional place to develop and refine an understanding of these nuances. The courses from which I was able to choose were just as unique as the healthcare space, and the skills that I developed in these courses empowered me to deliver high-impact results to my clients.
