Description

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Healthcare industry is set to create 4 million new jobs by 2026, accounting for about a third of total Job Growth. It is a niche and one of the most stable industries, which makes it an attractive industry to focus on for many qualified professionals. Information Technology in Healthcare is even a further step towards securing a growing and rewarding career. Moreover, Project Management is considered to be one of the most advanced professions which will be rather impossible to replace by automation, robotics and technology due to numerous human & interpersonal factors that play into successful management of the projects.

Project Management jobs within IT HealthCare sectors have one of the highest and best compensation packages, with salaries ranging from $120 - $150K, depending on your region.    

Interviewing for an IT Project Manager Job can be a nerve wrecking and stressful experience. Even further, getting into a HealthCare sector as an IT Project Manager is not an easy feat but not impossible. Preparation is crucial and one must exhibit not only solid Project Management capabilities and experience, but also relevant HealthCare experience in order to be able to hit the ground running from Day 1.   

The following material is decomposed into key 3 sections:   

  • Before the Interview  

  • During the Interview  

  • After the Interview   

Each section takes a closer look at strategies and techniques to implement in order to effectively prepare for the interview, answer the most complicated questions and impress the interviewees. We will go over different examples of questions as well as the sample answers that will help you develop and execute a strategy that will get you in the door.   

Upon completion of this course, you will be well-prepared to answer the most complicated questions and develop strategies for how to handle the most ambiguous scenarios. 

Who is this for?

This material is for a mid-career Project Manager with some experience in IT who is looking to get into HealthCare industry or advance their careers to the next level. If you are currently looking for a new job, new career or have an interview lined up and need to prepare, then this course is for you. Indeed, there is a plethora of material online, but the majority is focused on generic textbook questions and answers. This course will provide you with the most relevant questions and sample answers to the most unexpected and hypothetical questions.   

This interview guide is based on real-life scenarios, questions that we use to hire the top talent. This is not just a consolidation of average questions that you can find on the Internet, but rather a practical prep workshop that includes sample responses that you can leverage during your interviews.   

The following material assumes that you have a general knowledge and understanding of Project Management basics, at minimum. You do not need to be PMP certified but it is preferred.   

You will benefit greatly from this prep guide if:   

  • You are a Project Manager who is not advancing / getting promoted rapidly as you should   

  • You are a Project Manager with an unstable Company or an Industry   

  • You are currently preparing for an Interview with a Healthcare company   

  • You have limited experience managing Healthcare related projects but want to break into that industry

Information shared in this course does touch in direct the real word experience and not just a text book load of data

Sağlık bilişimi endüstrisinde proje yöneteciliğinde anahtar kavramları kısaca tanımama yardımcı oldu.

The course is very well prepared, questions about project management and even personal questions are interesting and not trivial. The only thing I would mention is that the healthcare part refers to the American healthcare system so it's not universal. However, it can also be valuable cause this part contains most of the important information.

I know this was free but someone really needs to check the spelling and transcript of the course - I did PM course a while ago so it jogged my memory and prompted me to make notes hence the comments and rating The healthcare mentions Medicare so not really of use to me, however still used that to consider the points it raised. Thanks for your time to cover the subject and promote further self research.

I am a Business Analyst. This course was little helpful to what I was looking for to prepare for my upcoming interview. Overall I liked the course but I think it is more specific for PM role.

It was very informative as I belong from a Healthcare Management background, a lot of information was new to me. Also, the tips regarding interview will be very helpful for me. Although it majorly focuses on project managers but that too is faced many a times in corporate carrier. I admire the fact that it was small and crisp at the same time there was nothing not properly explained. Everything was clear because of the examples quoted.

I didn't find the course helpful, it is too elementary, outdated and doesn't provide real-life scenario examples.
