Data AnalysisPythonData VisualizationStatistical Research

Overview

The externship worked with CIYJ's multi‑year juvenile facility datasets, including incident reports, demographic records, and surveys.

TruBridge Healthcare Data Analytics Externship

A healthcare data analytics externship with TruBridge focused on analyzing public health datasets and building data products that surface patterns in infection and outcome metrics.

What I've accomplished

I validated the WHO GHO dataset for a country-year analysis by inspecting structure, variables, sample size, missingness patterns, and pairing plausibility, and concluding it met the checklist criteria for analysis.

Project breakdown

Faced with finding analyzable data, I chose WHO GHO indicators (life expectancy and financial hardship from out-of-pocket spending). I evaluated structure, unit, variables, sample size, missingness, and pairing, and concluded the dataset passed the fitness checklist for country-year analysis.
