This year at DIHI gave me the rare opportunity to step completely outside my comfort zone and firmly into the intersection of medicine and data science. I have learned technical skills including R, SQL, and Python and have developed a strong understanding in data reading, manipulation, visualization, and machine learning model creation. I have worked with experts in multiple domains tackling projects such as incorporating diagnosis codes in prediction models, developing an algorithm to cluster similar labs, and evaluating the use and safety of a new triage system. Most importantly, through the incredible mentorship and vision pervasive at DIHI, I have been able to embrace our core tenets of curiosity, bold humility, adaptability, resilience, and Ubuntu—the spirit of “I am because we are.” I am so grateful to be a part of this team and am excited for what the future holds!
