UndecidedLawyer Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 2013 T10 law grad here. I've been working as a litigator at a "biglaw" firm for the past ~6 years and do primarily health-adjacent litigation. I am thinking of transitioning to part-time and applying to a part-time Ph.D. program in health policy. Anyone else in similar shoes? Anyone have any ideas whether part-time Ph.D. and part-time biglaw are compatible? Any idea whether this combination of experience would actually be a good combo, post-graduation? Any insight appreciated!
MPH Dad Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 My son is in the MPH program at UNC. He graduated from UNC law and passed the bar about a year ago but hasn't practiced law. His hope is to have a career in the healthcare/hospital administration. If you look at the educational background of a lot of the top hospital and health care CEOs many have a JD. You would think having a legal background would be a huge plus in any career that deals with the business of healthcare.
