Hello I'm jagan from India completed my mbbs I'm interested to do health informatics MS but my problem is I had no knowledge on computer so should I join the course what's your suggestion on this
Hello Jagan, Health Informatics can be described as analyzing data to provide actionable information for clinicians to improve workflow and ultimately patient outcomes. In terms of job prospects, in my opinion this is not an easy field to get an entry-level role in. It truly helps if you can make connections working in a healthcare organization or hospital and then pivot into the field. Some roles in the health informatics field include: business intelligence analyst, systems analyst, reporting analyst and/or clinical analyst. If you are looking for comparable job descriptions, one tip I have is to search on LinkedIn Jobs or Indeed: "SQL" + "Healthcare" or "Power BI" + "Healthcare" to get a sense of the job roles and see if this is of interest to you. Here is a database which has a number of health informatic programs: www.nihi.ca/listings.php?ListType=HIMProgram&MenuItemID=655
hi! do you work remote and do you need an internship or is a degree/certification enough. Do you need a portfolio?
