Exploring exit opportunities

Hello All,

I am a Dentist currently working in an NHS Head and Neck surgical unit. Primarily my goal from this post is to ascertain the pathway that some clinicians use to transition into private equity. As I want to move progressively into a more corporate setting, I will be applying to a few MBA programs next year. I am 29 and have been working in Dentistry for nearly 5 years. In addition to this I have a BSc in Biochemistry. I'm aware that for many corporate positions I am not necessarily an ideal candidate, but I just wanted to explore exit opportunities and how viable these are. Any insights anyone can give would be extremely appreciated.

Many thanks.
