Course Overview
Traditionally, research has been viewed as a purely academic undertaking, especially in resource-limited healthcare systems. Not all countries can afford clinical trials. As such, the findings and results of studies conducted in the United States and other Western and developed countries are generalised. The Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare course shines a light on why there is a need for localised research.
The Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare programme aims to position research and data at the centre of all healthcare operations. It is an introduction and a survey of all the data science tools that are used in healthcare. The Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare syllabus includes numerous exercises and hands-on workshops to highlight the significance of a multi-disciplinary approach to data science in healthcare.
Ideally, clinicians and engineers/computer scientists should take the Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare course together, as a team. This Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare classes on data analysis is brought to you by members of the MIT Critical Data team and is a 12-week long free online course. This self-paced programme can be taken either in the paid mode or in the free audit mode. The paid mode will provide unlimited access to the course as well as a certificate of completion whereas the free audit mode will give access only for a limited duration.

Eligibility Criteria
Suppose someone from a healthcare/medicine background is taking the Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare online course individually, without teaming up with a computer scientist/engineer. In that case, they must have working knowledge and some experience in R, SQL or Python.
Candidates can choose to opt for a verified, shareable and official certification by edX. To avail this, they have to pay the fee specified by edX.
What you will learn
Candidates should have a thorough understanding of the following concepts after completing the Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare training programme:
Analysis of electronic health records
Principles of data science that apply to healthcare
Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence in healthcare
Who it is for
The Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare online course is perfect for:
- Frontline Clinicians
- Public Health Practitioners
- Computer Scientists/Engineers
- Social Scientists
Those with a background in healthcare/medicine will find the programming aspect challenging, and those with experience in computer science/engineering will find the clinical aspects challenging. Therefore, edX recommends that clinicians and computer scientists/engineers take the Collaborative Data Science for Healthcare online course together, as a team.
