I work for an important private health group in my country. During my 6.5 years of experience I've got many promotions and develop many projects related to health services.
I am passionate about learning and understanding the business model of this industry, and at the same time I would like to complement my knowledge of the health industry with knowledge of economics and public administration.
I planing to do an MBA because I want to develop a global vision of the health system and I would like to work for an international company like: *McKinsey & Company (Management/Strategy-Healthcare Systems & Services-Corporate healthcare-Public Sector)
*Novartis
*Genentech, Inc.

Your experiences and goals should signal that you're a candidate of high impact! Only additional thing I'd ask is if you are involved in activities, outside of work? (0)

Until last year, I was involved in some activities related to public polices, the last one was a volunteering to analyze all the government plans of the candidates for the latest election in my country, then the organization showed these analyzes in its official web in order to encourage the citizens to make an informed vote.
