[@DigitalHealthInformatics]

Good luck!

[@Kj-oy5og]

Just graduated on Friday with my Bachelor’s of Health Sciences in Health Informatics. I am so blessed and excited to start my career! What should be my next step?

[@DigitalHealthInformatics]

Congrats on your graduation! What kind of job/work are you looking for in health informatics?

[@Kj-oy5og]

@@DigitalHealthInformatics I am so sorry for the delayed reply. Thank you so much! The area I wish to work in is as a Health Informatics Consultant.

[@DigitalHealthInformatics]

@@Kj-oy5og I guess the next step would be to see you can apply for entry-level positions with relevant organisations or companies? Perhaps you could talk with local hospitals or perhaps healthcare IT companies such as Cerner or Epic? It might be worth joining a professional organisations such as HIMSS and attending their conference to network and talk with potential employers: www.himss.org/

[@Kj-oy5og]

@@DigitalHealthInformatics Thank you for providing me with this information. I will do some research on the two recommended Healthcare IT companies. While in school, we were required to join HIMMS. A lot of the conferences I haven’t been able to attend with my son. But I will look into them as well. Thank you again for your help 🙂

[@isaacasamoah6746]

Please is it possible/difficult to study health informatics if you are not Information technology inclined?

[@drchrispaton]

Yes, but you should have an interest in IT

[@Piccolo_Re]

Is an information systems degree more useful than a healthcare informatics degree then if you don’t like medical jargon and dealing with doctors?

[@waqqashanafi]

more "useful" because you'll be happy? Yes.

[@DigitalHealthInformatics]

You will have more flexibility in career options (and avoid the doctors!)

[@jhonlimachi1604]

[@DigitalHealthInformatics]

[@ammaralzhrani6329]

Thanks. But I want to know how a medical student can enter or take this specialist? Thanks

[@DigitalHealthInformatics]

Hi Ammar, you might be able to do an elective module on informatics during your degree or intercalate with an informatics course. There are also post-graduate degrees and in some countries their are specialist societies and colleges such as facultyofclinicalinformatics.org.uk in the UK or AMIA in the US: www.amia.org.

[@waqqashanafi]

Do a degree in Health Informatics.

[@abely4223]
