Mohammed -

Why not look at an IT PM role in a healthcare organization? That will expose you to the business domain, potentially provide you with support for learning more about that domain, and would put you in a better position to transition fully...

I agree with Kiron, that is your foot in the door with healthcare.

Hi Mohammed,

I'm in healthcare for the last 15 years, and I agree with Kiron on this. You should try for an IT PM role in Healthcare.

I have held positions just in Healthcare domain from 17 years, Analyst to Management. When you mentioned Healthcare, what role you wanted to try? I totally agree with others about shifting to PM role in healthcare, but if you are particularly interested in a role related to healthcare area alone without IT, then it is a different case.
