Core Skills

  • Clinical data system policy and planning
  • Medical telecommunications and data acquisition integration
  • Biomedical experimental design and mathematical modeling

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Health IT Manager

Leading medical information processing activities and planning patient-oriented data systems transfers directly to managing healthcare IT operations and implementation projects.

How to prepare: Build a project case study showing how you planned, implemented, and evaluated a medical information system, using only information authorized for public release.

What the civilian work involves
  • Direct daily operations of department, analyzing workflow, establishing priorities, developing standards and setting deadlines.
  • Review project plans to plan and coordinate project activity.
  • Assign and review the work of systems analysts, programmers, and other computer-related workers.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Atlassian JIRA

Clinical Systems Analyst

Implementing and evaluating patient-oriented data systems and integrating medical computing equipment transfers to clinical system testing and interoperability work.

How to prepare: Create a sample clinical-system integration portfolio with a data-flow diagram and test plan using synthetic patient data.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test, maintain, and monitor computer programs and systems, including coordinating the installation of computer programs and systems.
  • Coordinate and link the computer systems within an organization to increase compatibility so that information can be shared.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
