Take notes whenever you are given new information!

Get comfortable with some basic financial calculations and be familiar with terms having to do with the healthcare industry, as well as business terminology.
Stay structured and concise in your answers. There are different frameworks you can think about, or make your own. Through this, you can make sure you are covering all of your bases.
Practice! We have linked here some practice cases specific to the healthcare industry (In the cases we have included example answers, but the possibilities are not limited to these! Don’t be afraid to be creative and think outside of the box)

Interview Round 2 is an individual case, which tests an applicant on problem solving and communication.
Interview Attire
For our 2 rounds of interviews, we expect business casual for the first round and business professional for the second round.
Business casual attire is a more relaxed form of the traditional business attire. Khaki pants/dress pants with a blouse/polo/sweater would be considered business casual.
Business professional attire is more dressy than business casual. A dress shirt/blouse with dress pants or a skirt with a suit jacket would be considered business professional.
