Ways in: 4-year college, Certification. Training cost: $15k – $60k.
Majors to look at: Computer Science, Health Informatics.
Growing faster than average. Federal data-sharing rules drive demand.
Medium risk for 10 years. Integration tools and AI map data faster; debugging messy hospital feeds and FHIR builds still needs engineers.
Classes: AP Computer Science A, Computer applications, Statistics.
Official data: O*NET occupation 15-1299.
