hi all,
i am considering starting my post bacc journey and had originally planned to quit my job and do a post bacc full time. I came across a job opportunity in strategic sourcing at a hospital and am wondering if this would be viewed as beneficial experience when applying to medical school? So i'm trying to figure out if working in this role and doing a part time DIY post bacc would be a good idea. The role basically is a hospital admin role that liaises with physicians, budget holders, suppliers (like med device companies) etc to negotiate the purchase of equipment and medical devices for the hospital. So for example a typical project is to buy stents for the hospital and work with doctors to find out about the stents they like and then see what flexibility they have in those preferences. Then look at budget to see if hospital can afford those preference items and then negotiate with the device companies on the price, quantity, etc. The obvious plus is the interaction with physicians. But I doubt there will be a ton of patient interaction. Has anyone worked with this group before? - would love to hear your thoughts on how this will be viewed in the admissions process.
Thanks
