Intelligence details

Why this is worth applying to

Clinicians with strong technical skills (coding, data science) could leverage this as a gateway into health tech, but most clinicians without such background will find the technical requirements prohibitive.

Who should apply

Healthcare graduates with a computer science or data science background, or clinicians who have self-taught programming and machine learning and want to transition into health tech.

CV angle
