  • Learn data engineering and develop mastery in managing and analyzing “big data.” 
  • Master quantitative analysis techniques including sophisticated regression and modeling techniques and interpretive skills.  
  • Discover ways to provide value to teams of clinical and policy decision makers in a variety of health care settings.
  • Gain an understanding and facility with decision-making based on probability and risk.
