Rx consultants breaking into PE?

Hi!

How common is it for rx consultants to break into PE? If you have any experience or know the industry, i would greatly appreciate it if you could share some of your insight. 

Is it common for people to do so? Do you need an MBA to boost up your career to break in? 

Thank you for your time! Have a lovely day!
