Overview

Program Description

More than ever, there’s a need for professionals who can translate real-world health data into reliable scientific and business results. These skills are highly sought after across the life sciences and healthcare industry, and the evidence you generate can impact people’s lives.

With the Real World Evidence in Healthcare and Life Sciences program at Northeastern University you will gain all the knowledge and skills to produce important scientific and business results from real-world health data, such as electronic medical records and insurance claims. This program, created and taught by faculty experts at Northeastern’s Observational Health and Data Science Informatics Center, will teach you how epidemiologists, health services researchers, and health policymakers use real-world data to produce reliable evidence. You will explore, hands-on, how this research discipline creates a comprehensive understanding of disease, and you will learn about the complex methods and software required to build that competence.

These immediately deployable skills are needed right now at pharmaceutical companies, regulatory authorities, health systems, technology companies, and consulting groups specializing in life sciences and healthcare. This degree—and your passion for data and helping others—creates an in-demand career with a wide range of opportunities to choose from.
