Data Scientist - Healthcare

My experience during the MTHE program was extremely valuable and rewarding. It definitely contributed to my career success, although not necessarily in terms of content knowledge. I currently work as a data scientist focused on healthcare for a multinational management consulting firm. My team builds “products” or tools for consulting teams (eg, models but also data synthesis or complex analytic processing engines), and we also work directly with project teams and clients to structure and run complex analyses. None of what I learned during Apple math directly taught me how to do those things, although there were a lot of related topics (eg, probability theory or stochastic processes). What I found to be most impactful for my career so far were the “softer” skills I picked up, namely acquiring experience and confidence on how to approach very complex and analytically challenging problems and actually be able to break them down and develop an approach for solving them. Basically critical thinking and patter recognition skills, but how to apply those to very (analytically) intimidating problems.

"The cumulative learning from the broad variety of courses in MTHE - all of which push you to be creative with your problem solving approaches, each in their own unique ways - is what I found most impactful on my career."
Philippe Furrer

I would add that your classmates in MTHE also do a very good job of pushing you to learn creative approaches to problem solving, as I found them all to be very hardworking and high caliber folks, so you need to push yourself just to keep up with the class
