PharmD to Consulting

Hello!

I'm a current PharmD student who will be graduating this upcoming May. I've made the decision to gear my career path toward consulting. My main targets are life science or any type of healthcare consulting. A few of my friends that work for Deloitte and ZS tell me they see PharmDs at their job every now and then. I currently work for a large retail pharmacy chain. Have anyone heard about what PharmDs can offer to consulting? I would love to hear everyone's input and tips/tricks on applying.

Thanks in advance.
