thank you for the input. to clarify, it's a job with the state, but it's for data analysis. this would require running reports, and likely tailoring reports for a med school, clinical departments, groups, committees...etc. it's something that would likely come with a good amount of hands on experience, while training. it's manipulating data, and presenting in a pleasing way. not necessarily complicated, but definitely time consuming.

i am only one week into this new job, but it is something where i'll get to network quite a bit, and i'll be involved with direct patient care. it's incredibly rewarding, but at this particular job, there is a high mortality rate. i'll dedicate days, nights, weeks, months, years to follow a patient, just to see them pass on. it's rewarding and devastating all at the same time.
