Health Care Consultants

Employers

Approximately 20,000 management analysts are employed in the health care and social assistance industries. Many health care consultants work in the private sector for firms that provide consulting services to drug companies, health care providers, nonprofits, government agencies, and other organizations. Major health care consulting firms include Beacon Partners, Huron Healthcare, and The Camden Group. Large management consulting firms such as McKinsey & Company, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, the Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company also have health care consulting practices. Other health care consultants are employed directly by hospitals, drug companies, and government agencies. There are also opportunities for those with an entrepreneurial nature. Approximately 18 percent of management consultants are self-employed.
