For graduate students that are interested in understanding more about a career in consulting, we would like to invite you to an evening session to learn more about what we do from recent alumni of Harvard Medical School Alumni.

McKinsey & Company is a management consulting firm that advises senior management of the world's leading organizations on issues of strategy, organization, technology and operations. People join us from a wide range of disciplines, and you'll find that we're more interested in the quality of your achievements than your particular area of studies.

Working with us, you'll gain exposure to a diverse range of industry sectors and business issues that will not only enhance your career options but also accelerate the pace of your personal development. In addition, you'll be a member of a core team working directly with senior client executives to address the defining business issues of our time.
