Director of Health Informatics
I serve as an internal consultant on initiatives that utilize technology or data analytics.
Lots of phone calls! I work at home or in our corporate offices, seeing a technology solution we've worked on for months actually help these folks do their jobs better or makes a task easier for them, or improves our care for our patients. I also get to visit our accounts and work with them on projects. It could be visiting a hospital kitchen where we run the food service operations. We'll shadow the employees as they test out a new technology, such as a new app we've developed.
Here's the first step for high school students
Do your research early in high school to see what scholarships you can get. The best gift you can give yourself is not just an education - it's an education with as little student loan debt as possible. Having funding for school is the difference between pursuing the field of study in college you really want to pursue, or having to choose a major just because it will take less time / money.
