How to Leverage Your STEM Education to Succeed in Healthcare IT

“What can I do with a STEM Degree?” If I had a nickel for every time I heard that question…

Did you know that as a major in STEM, you have skills and knowledge that Healthcare IT needs and wants? Healthcare IT is an exciting, growing field where demand is high and you can build a great career while actually helping people! In addition to technical skills, a STEM education inherently provides graduates with advanced problem-solving and communication skills, excellent time management/prioritization and the ability to take on a multitude of tasks with great focus and determination. By understanding how the language and concepts of Healthcare IT directly translate to terms and concepts you know, demystifying buzz words surrounding data, and creating a road map for next steps that are easily accessible and affordable, we will develop a great answer to: “What can I do with my STEM Degree?”
