Weeeeeeelllllll, it sort of does matter what field.
If you're thinking of changing careers, what directions interest you? Staying in healthcare? Management? Research? Something completely new? A graduate "certificate" in a new, random direction may seem awkward on your resume unless you can explain exactly how it's going to help you. Are you thinking something skill-based (coding, writing, accounting), or more academic (history, literature, math)? What do you want to be when you grow up? (There's no wrong answer, but you *should* at least *have* an answer. You can always change it later.)
