Hey all, I am a sophomore recruiting for summer 2027 ib internship on the west coast for healthcare. Learned a little about the industry through reading the news and keeping up with trends. Want to learn more about bippharma modeling or any other topics I need to know about for hc ib interviews. Does anyone have good resrouces (guides, modeling examples, articles, etc.) they recommend? Thanks in advanced

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some excellent resources to help you prepare for healthcare investment banking (HC IB) interviews and improve your understanding of biopharma modeling:

1. Guides and Articles

  • Healthcare IBD - Summary & Resources: This thread provides a comprehensive overview of healthcare investment banking, including:

    • Biotech finance insights (valuation methodologies and modeling considerations).
    • Guides to evaluate biotech companies.
    • External resources like Bain's Global Healthcare Private Equity and Corporate M&A reports, FierceBiotech, FiercePharma, and Axios Vitals.
  • Books:

    • "The Pharmagellan Guide to Biotech Forecasting and Valuation" – A great resource for understanding biotech valuation.
    • "Biotechnology Valuation" by Karl Kleegan – Focus on Chapter 3 (drug development process) and Chapter 4 (building a disease model). Note: This book assumes prior knowledge of valuation techniques like DCF and comps.

2. Modeling Resources

  • Financial Modeling Templates: WSO offers templates for financial modeling, including 3-statement models, DCF, and accretion/dilution models. These are essential for mastering biopharma-specific financial modeling.
  • DCF Modeling Training - Free Guide: A solid starting point to understand discounted cash flow modeling, which is often used in healthcare and biopharma valuations.

3. Industry-Specific News and Reports

  • External News Sources:
    • FierceBiotech and FiercePharma for biotech and pharma industry updates.
    • Biospace and WSJ Health for broader healthcare news.
    • Medscape and MassDevice for insights into medical devices and clinical trials.

4. Bonus Resources

  • How to Analyze a Clinical Trial: While not directly related to modeling, understanding clinical trials is crucial for evaluating biopharma companies.
  • Paul Keckley's Weekly Report: A valuable resource for staying updated on healthcare trends and policy changes.

5. Networking and Forums

  • Engage with the WSO Healthcare Investment Banking Forum to ask questions, share insights, and learn from others who have successfully navigated HC IB recruiting.

These resources will help you build a strong foundation in healthcare investment banking and prepare for interviews effectively. Good luck with your summer 2027 internship recruiting!
