With the explosion of data available at one’s fingertips, there is a growing need to transform raw data into meaningful information that can be used by decision makers.

Public health and healthcare delivery is constantly inundated with data from sources, including clinical trials, observational and longitudinal studies, genomics, and more. Having a firm grasp of the statistical computing skill-set can help you analyze this information effectively, and translate the flow of data into meaningful information that can inform decisions to improve the health of populations.

Our environment is intrinsic to our health, with environmental exposures among the leading contributors to health problems. And while people are affected regardless of income and geography, environmental health risks especially threaten the most vulnerable among us.

Effective leadership requires a unique set of professional skills, including program management. Building the essential tools and skills can enhance your ability to perform in a variety of population health settings by working to ensure that the essential elements of a program and program goals are met by providing decision making capacity that cannot be achieved at the project level.
