Healthcare organizations generate vast and complex data across clinical, operational, and financial systems. This specialization is designed to equip you with the end-to-end analytics and visualization skills needed to work confidently with healthcare data and turn it into meaningful, decision-ready insights.
The specialization includes three short courses, eachrequiringapproximately8-9hours of learner engagement.
Across the three hands-on courses, you will learn how to identify, prepare, and analyze healthcare data from diverse sources, apply statistical and predictive modeling techniques, and design executive-ready dashboards that support clinical, operational, and strategic decision-making. You will work with real-world healthcare datasets using industry-relevant tools such as Python, Excel, SQL, and Google Looker Studio, while also developing a strong understanding of data privacy, ethics, and regulatory requirements.
By moving from foundational data understanding to applied analytics and executive communication, this specialization emphasizes practical, job-ready skills. You will gain experience analyzing healthcare performance, evaluating clinical outcomes, and communicating insights clearly to clinicians, administrators, and leadership—preparing you for roles such as healthcare data analyst, clinical analyst, health informatics specialists, or healthcare business intelligence professional.
