Anyone in Health Informatics?

How do you find the field?
Top | New | Old
If you like IT AND medical, you'll do ok. If you're more IT minded, don't corner yourself. If your more Medical minded, stick with that. To me, it's a niche blend. Remember, you'll also be competing against IT people who have been in the field for 20+ yrs.


I often wonder what leads people to this very niche area. It seems so confining to me. But in my experience, it's people who went into Medical who found it just wasn't for them.

Edit: I have to add this. I can't within good conscious let it go, though I was going to at first. Look, I know a good handful of people in this niche, and they aren't having an easy time finding employment. You might want to consider this too.

@Magicianzini I read about this also, that most employers seek candidates with a master's in Health Informatics
@Shell I know someone with that and more who isn't getting hired. He's been trying for a year and half. What I see touted and what I see in real life just aren't matching when it comes to this. I wish he was the only example I knew.

But I think that in perhaps 5+ yrs, this may become a good choice for someone. Even sooner, if not now, in areas like NYC and Seattle.

Good luck!

@GuyWithOpinions No. It's about using information technology and health data to make hospital workflows better.
