Hi there,
Short answer: Yes, I know plenty of MDs who have gone into consulting
1. Yes, but an MBA is the safest/most direct route. The MD/MBA was quite common
2. Honestly, both. Why not, right? That said, within the big 4 you'll have to be going in as a specialist/expert hire (i.e. within their healthcare practice).
2b. The process is the same if you're going in as generalist. If you're going in a specialist, then it will be the "same" as all other specialist roles (i.e. more brainstorming, unstructured, and diving into your knowledge/expertise)
3. Same as for all CVs! Ability to solve problems, manage teams/projects, work with people/clients, etc.etc
4. Network a lot! Not only will that help you get in the door, but it will help build clarity around what you want to do and the best path forward.
Good luck!
