Discover the Value in Data
Next start date:
September 2026
This program was previously called the Certificate in Data Science in Health Economics & Outcomes Research.
Health care and life science organizations generate vast amounts of data — from electronic health records and claims to registries, device data, genomic profiles and patient-reported outcomes. Yet the true value of this data often remains unrealized. This certificate helps decision makers understand what this data can (and can’t) tell us, how to choose and trust analytic methods, and how to translate results into sound decisions. You’ll bridge the gap between technical analytics and organizational decision-making by exploring real-world health care data science examples.
Professionals who collaborate with analytics teams, oversee data science work or make evidence-based decisions across the pharmaceutical, biomedical, health care, health policy and regulatory fields.
This program is offered by The CHOICE Institute at the UW School of Pharmacy. For more information and to apply, visit the Certificate in Data Science Methods for Real-World Evidence in Health page.
