According to my background as a clinician, to be a public health informatician I have to gain knowledge and skills a lot in the field of computational & mathematical sciences and also the management & communication within the team.
I already know public health concepts and a few statistics from my work. I can identify what is the problem but, I have to improve my knowledge in health data standards, database design, data privacy, data visualization and it’s implemented to support the use in public health practice. The communication within the team which should be consist of public health personnel and IT man is also an important skill, and I need to gain this skill in order to improve my professional in public health informatics.
