I want to take a minute to weigh in on this conversation. As the Manager for Career and Professional Development at TDI, I work with students and alumni to clarify career goals, build a development plan, and organize the job search. We have alumni working in consulting firms that span public health, health information, health policy and healthcare delivery. The class of 2013 has 5 people who are now working in consulting practices; I am working with several more on job searches focused in this sector. I am also working with students in our current class who are interested in health care consulting as a career field. Dartmouth College has many resources that are available to all graduate students, including skills workshops, alumni presentations and receptions, and a job board populated with companies who have already employed our graduates. In addition, strong, well focused students find opportunities to work with leading researchers on projects that are transforming the way we understand and deliver health care. Possibilities abound for strong students to make real contributions.
