Good luck !!
Healthcare data scientists are in high demand.
Healthcare providers and payers are competing furiously with health IT vendors to secure experienced data scientists and machine learning experts in a highly competitive job market, says a study in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA).
Likewise, physicians with a background or interest in medical informatics are interested in working with or for data science companies and getting the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies they need to add value to future collaborations, advisory roles or employers.
But, if you are a data scientist interested in the sick care industry, how do you find one of these jobs that would be the right fit for you? Here are some tips:
Today’s data science students range from mid-career professionals taking an intensive bootcamp or certification course, to the traditional academic undergraduate and graduate tracks. Many of the academic programs are master’s or Ph.D. level degree programs, reflecting the need for a well-trained workforce. The admission and attendance requirements for each data science program varies by school and program level.
Good luck. If things don't work out, you can always drive for Uber (about 53.3% of drivers have a bachelor’s degree or higher compared to the United States national average of 33%. About 48% of Uber drivers have at least a college degree) or rent out your basement to get you through the pandemic.
