As a public health professional focusing on infectious disease surveillance, I must develop my computational and mathematical sciences knowledge, especially in health data management – data collection, secure storage, and health data management. Proficiency in data analysis and interpretation is crucial for extracting actionable insights from health data to communicate this vital information to relevant stakeholders to facilitate their decision-making processes. Familiarity with public health policies and regulations, particularly data privacy-related ones, is critical. Knowledge of management and social sciences is also a foundational competency that I need to develop. Lastly, I need to stay updated with emerging technologies and trends in public health informatics through continuous learning and professional development.
