Hello,
I am considering doing an internship with a healthcare consulting firm the summer after my Junior year. I am very into having a wide variety of experiences and I believe it will expose me to healthcare in a different manner than the volunteering/shadowing I have been doing the last few years. I know I want to be a practicing physician later in life so I do not see consulting in my long term plans as of now (although if I really enjoy it, I have heard about some physicians who consult part time as MD/MBAs). Do you know of any pre-meds who did a similar internship and how their experience was? I have also been told that this could hurt my application, is this true?
Thanks,
