Breaking into healthcare investing without a relevant degree?

Sounds daft but I've been wondering if this is doable. I think my ultimate goal is healthcare PE/HF. However, my degree is BSc in business intelligence, and my first full-time job, starting in 2 months, will be FICC structuring (at a top 2 bank, but I don't think that'll help). If I do a Master’s in biotech (or other related fields like public health?) will it open some doors? Or is PhD/MD a must? Also any recommendations on learning materials/books for healthcare investment would be greatly appreciated.
