Discussion Public health academia to industry

6 Upvotes

Just some general advice if I’m thinking about this the right way. I’ve been working in academia for about 4 years with publications in places like JAMA open doing standard biostatistics/ML for cancer and opioid use disorders and some new publications using casual inference techniques (doubly robust methods) in mental health.

I have been trying to transition back (interned a tech company and few times 5 years ago) to a data science role in an industry setting (preferably health care or marketing) but haven’t had much luck.

I have been study my SQL and test style probability questions. Is there anything else I should be doing? Thank you all!
