Hi everyone,
I’m a junior doctor (FY4) in the UK looking to transition into life sciences consulting (targeting firms like L.E.K. and ZS in London). Over the past month, I’ve spent a lot of time learning about the industry — covering pharma and medtech value chains, regulatory pathways, market access, pricing strategies, etc.
My question is: what’s the best way to tie this background knowledge into my case interview preparation?
Right now, I can recall key concepts (e.g., HTA processes, value-based pricing), but I’m not sure how to apply them effectively when structuring and solving cases. Should I build sector-specific frameworks? Focus on practicing industry-specific case types? Or approach it differently?
I’d really appreciate any advice from people who’ve broken into life sciences consulting or coached others — especially on how to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical case-solving.
Thanks in advance!
