I love that you showed an example of stuff you'd actually work with for your Day in the Life section. It's so hard to find people actually showing what they do. I don't think the analytics side is for me but I'm glad I can finally know. Now to find a video of the other side of Health Informatics lol

Very good information. I've been a registered respiratory therapist for over 10 years, and I am heavily weighing my options to get into health informatics.

I'm excited to learn more about his career role. My original major is Accounting, I didn't complete my degree, I've been a Pharmacy Technician for the last 11 years and I'm excited to how this field goes hand in hand with data, healthcare world and especially Pharmacy

You are an excellent speaker & on top of that your voice is so comforting. You should definitely tag this as unintentional ASMR. Thank you for your hard work

Elena, this is fantastic no "blah blah" fluff. I will be buying your ebook and coming back again to these videos and podcasts. I have just begun researching this field of healthcare informatics after a life in law practice and home healthcare. You really do break it down to a practical components.

[latayat]

Hi! Your video is so informative. I’m interested in perusing my Masters in Health Informatics. Your video further confirmed my decision.

[aditip]

Hi Elena, thank you for sharing such an insightful video. The example of day in the life of healthcare data analyst made it pretty clear to me. This actually makes me look forward to my graduate certificate in Health Informatics that I want to pursue.

Hello, I have been working as a service desk analyst at a hospital for the past 10 years and over the years I have had exposure to all the EMR systems such as Epic and all other clinical applications. I've just recently come across this field because I wanted to advance into something different but still connected with Information technology...Do you think this would be a good field to get into since I am already working in a hospital setting and I have found an online masters in healthcare informatics program that I'm going to inquire about. Would that open up more opportunities for me?

[martinadadaa]

Can one do masters in healthcare informatics without having a background in healthcare?

[angelbishop]

Is your schedule more like a 9-5 schedule? Or 3 days a week, 12 hours?

[megnrei]

I’m starting my doctorate of health science in October and I’m thinking of changing my concentration from public health to health informatics. I’m intrigued and intimidated at the same time 🥹

[jerry]

I been doing research about this field because I am considering on switching from biology to health informatics but I still can’t seem to find anything that shows me what exactly you do :( it’s so hard to find an internship or a job that doesn’t require a degree in currently still in school but should graduate this year

[jabe]

Hello, i have a BS in clinical laboratory science and have been working in hospitals labs for 10 years. Can you thibk of any challenges i might face when i undertake this degree since i don't have a nursing background.

[tambahsaah]

I have all these skills, R, SQL, Excel, Data visualization but need to work on my communication and confidence.

[noor]

Can I break into this field with only a Bachelors of Science in kinesiology and health science? I have clinical experience in a nursing home and with SAS in undergrad

[Livondololoh]

Hello, thank you for this video.
can a nutrition and dietetics degree holder pursue a master's in health informatics?

[magneticisaac]

Hey there! I just discovered Health Informatics. I have a Bachelors in Health Science with a concentration in Health Service Administration. Do you think it could be possible for me to break into this field? Thanks

[kevinwijayaoey]

Hi Alana, interesting! I am currently moving into a new role as a Clinical Informatics Analyst and am researching about the field. Love those interview questions! Tried connecting with you on Linkedin but couldn't find any results.

Hi @HealthAnalyticInsights I clicked on the link to purchase your e-book, but i noticed the price was in CAD dollars. when will the e-book be available for US customers? Thanks for the informative video! I am graduating with my Bachelor's in Health Informatics and Information Management degree this summer! I applied for a master's degree in health informatics program too. Hopefully, I get in! :)
