What is Applied Data Science in Medicine & Psychology?
This course sits at the intersection of three knowledge areas that together define a modern data scientist working in health and behavioral sciences:
| Area | Example disciplines |
|---|---|
| Statistical knowledge | Quantitative methods, probability |
| Programming (Python) | Data wrangling, automation |
| Knowledge of human experience & behavior | Psychology, Medicine, Medical Engineering |
Students from any one of these backgrounds enter with strengths in one corner of this triangle. The goal of the course is to help everyone reach the center — competence across all three areas by the final lecture.
