Moving Into Medical Supply Chain
Hi all, I’ve got about six years of direct transportation/logistics experience and probably another five years from previous jobs. I’m studying for my MPA with a certificate in healthcare management (anticipated graduation May 2027) and have my CPIM. I’m trying to pivot from transportation to a medical supply chain role but having trouble getting traction with my resume.
Does anyone in the medical supply chain field have advice for what sort of transferable skills I should emphasize or where I should shift my focus to overcome the lack of direct experience in healthcare? I’ve applied with hospitals, clinics, and manufacturers and the only hit I’ve gotten was with a strip mall kidney dialysis center
