Nidanyr stellar profile overall and well done on the GRE exam.
Your background as a medical professional is certainly an advantage in the admissions process, but your goals strategy would need strategizing. For example, you must clearly elaborate why you want to go into healthcare devices or nonprofits if you have previously chosen a career in dental surgery. Why do you even need an MBA for these domains?
To show that you are a fit for your target Schools, you need to make a connection between the cases/projects you have worked on to provide insight into the area of the healthcare industry that interests you the most (after the MBA). How would your experience and knowledge of the issues in the (dental) industry make you a valuable resource for the MBA program and for your future employment (in a business or impact oriented role)? This narrative will carry significant weight in the admissions process.
Pro-tip - Your application will be stronger if you show how your target B schools fit into the picture of your healthcare goals. Present the "uniqueness" of the target programs from a healthcare perspective to set yourself apart from the competition. Talk to the school, alumni and industry recruiters to get an idea of your career expectations after the MBA school in healthcare industry. Use these conversations to authentically articulate your goals. Alumni responses can help you set the right expectations.
My top picks for you would be-
EU/UK: IESE, HEC Paris, Oxford, Cambridge, LBS (reach)
The US: DUKE, TUCK , BOOTH(reach), Ross(reach), Haas (reach)
