Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
When you join us, you will have:
  • Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development.

In this role, you will participate in and, in some cases, lead the development of recommendations and advise teams on evidence-based medicine, clinical practice, and healthcare policies. You will also represent the Clinical and Risk Excellence (CARE) team, together with other senior McKinsey colleagues, in public-facing forums including conferences and expert panels and engage in authorship of the Healthcare Practice’s related articles for peer-review and other external publications.

The team has grown to 300+ colleagues globally over the last four years. It is a unique mix of healthcare experts, physicians, statisticians, engineers, data scientists, and more.
