I completed the Alternative Career Paths in Health Tech series conducted by Medics In Tech and I must say it was a very powerful series. Medics In Tech is an organization purposed to revolutionize healthcare by bridging the gap between medical know-how and tech. We are in an age where technology is used to improve medical services and it is important for medics to be part of the process. Medics In Tech empowers medics to leverage technology to improve healthcare. I joined the community earlier this year as I myself am transitioning into the digital health space. I am currently doing a Masters in Data Science in Rome Business School and University of Valencia. As a medical doctor, public health expert and data professional, finding such a community on my early tech path was a major boost for me. I got to connect with fellow medics with tech skills who gave me inspiration and guidance. Through Medics In Tech I was part of the Basic Python For Healthcare cohort which was a great one. It really helped me up my Python skills. Next I was selected among from over 200 people to be part of the internship program, I was selected as a data analyst at Emergency Response Africa which has been a great experience. I am close the end of my Masters in Data Science and I am glad that I joined the Medics In Tech community where I've other medics who have transitioned before me. It's been a great journey so far, definitely one of my bright points of 2024.
