Transitioning to activist HF from SM HF

How do activist hedge funds or activist strategies within HFs recruit? I have 4 years buy side experience with a SM HF in the healthcare space and I am interested in exploring the activist strategy. Is there a path to doing this? If so, which HFs would like a person with my profile?


Prior to my SM gig, I have an advanced degree (MD, JD, PhD) and spent a few years in management consulting (Bain, BCG).


I realize I would enjoy work that is more hands on, sometimes even public, and involving deep fundamental work.
