Also called: Healthcare AI Engineer, Medical Imaging AI Scientist
Builds AI models that read medical images, predict patient risk, or write clinical notes.
Trains a model to spot strokes on CT scans, tests whether it works equally well across patient groups, and works with radiologists to deploy it safely in a hospital.
Estimate based on BLS data scientists.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
Master's degree, about 6 years after high school. Master's or PhD in computer science, data science, or biomedical engineering.
Ways in: 4-year college, Graduate school. Training cost: $60k – $150k.
Majors to look at: Computer Science, Data Science, Biomedical Engineering.
Growing much faster than average. Data scientists grow much faster than average.
Medium risk for 10 years. AI tools automate much of model training and coding; proving a model is safe and fair across patients stays expert work.
Classes: AP Computer Science A, AP Calculus, AP Statistics.
Official data: O*NET occupation 15-2051.
