Been working on federal healthcare strategy past 2 years, and now dipping toes into tech w/different BI, DS, and cloud trainings/certs. Recently learned of JHU's Applied Health Science Informatics MA. Q's:

1. Does anyone here currently work on something similar to what I've described here? If so, what's your background? If not, why do you think this work is not occuring?

2. How popular (or not popular) do you think pandemic planning will be post-COVID?

3. Can anyone provide reviews of JHU's Applied Health Science Informatics program?

4. From your perspective, how could I best prepare for the work I've described here? If this work is not happening/anticipated, what other career avenues would you recommend?

Thanks you so much!

There's a lot going on in your post. I would pull way back from the COVID and emergency planning assumptions. Those jobs are extremely scarce in normal times. I used to work in bio-monitoring/response/zoonotic diseases. It's very cool and interesting but I had to leave because work dried up. If you want to go the analytical route I would look at Georgetown's master's in emerging bio-infectious diseases. It's everything you want and combines national security with bio, terrorism, and emergency planning. Otherwise if you want to be successful would highly recommend you join the coast guard or CDC - gov experience is highly valued. MPH's are not super lucrative, better to get something clinical (RN) + emergency management. Good luck

Would definitely recommend an MPH from a brand name school, or something along the lines of the MA program you described above. Only thing i would caution about a degree that specific is that it could pigeonhole you into tech implementation work, which *could* potentially be your cup of tea, but it also seems really unsustainable from what I’ve seen (quick burnout, lack in variability of work, etc)...just some variables to consider when weighing vs. an MPH (much broader applications).

I agree with A1. A MPH would go a long way and there is also Pandemic planning and crisis planning jobs that are starting to require better tech skills. I would look at that.

There are certain certifications in Pandemic and Crisis Management that might go a long way. Can’t say I know those off the top of my head though.
