I am Doctor of Pharmacy graduate(6 years course),I want to become data scientist in health care, pharma companies. So should I go for masters in health data science or can I opt a 6 months Data science course from a good institute?
Dear leaner,
Actually,I could have able to answer this , because iam one of the pharm-d graduates ,see if you are interested in switching career from pharmacy to data science,risky part is more than benifits ,let's take that as positive . p
After pharm-d taking up in data science is brilliant idea ,you could have impactable knowledge in both field,but the issue is you need have a bachelor's degree in engineering or computer science, statistics, if you wants to take msc in data science,
but anyone is eligible for the data science in doing so diploma in data science ,it takes you too far more ,
first stick to basics , understand stats,maths ,computer and machine learning,and the first foremost thing is learning computer language.if you are good and willing you can take anyhow .
that,s The only drawback in data science learning languages ,that could be fun if you learn with passion.
all the best
