⟩ Do you know what’s one trait that all candidates need if they want to work in this cause area (population health) regardless of role?
You have to have some desire to be helpful to others. Even if you’re an IT person, you have to care about the health and well being of others.
That being said, health care is a challenging industry to work right now. We are becoming an incredibly competitive field, which is challenging for for some who left the for profit world to seek an opportunity in the not for profit world. We’re more businesslike than before: cost control, cost optimization, market share, etc. You need to be flexible and adapt quickly.
