Any job, internship, or class you've taken at the high school or college level that involved data and analytics can be helpful if you want to learn health care analytics. Studies or jobs in health information can also be beneficial. Other helpful classes include various levels of math, data science, computer science, and biostatistics. Experience that involves data mining, data warehousing, big data, information management, clinical workflow, health information technology, project management, computer programming, software development, or quality assessment can also help prepare you for learning health care analytics. While it's not necessary, if you've worked, volunteered, or interned in a health care settingāsuch as a hospital, clinic, doctor's office, or government agency that regulates health careāyou may better understand health care analytics studies. Former medical coders, health care auditors, and medical record clerks tend to do well when learning about the subject.ā
