Accessing information in health informatics has been eye-opening. The volume of data can be overwhelming, and the challenge is filtering credible sources. Reliable databases like PubMed and government websites offer high-quality information but often require understanding medical terminology.
Staying current is crucial because health informatics evolves rapidly. Online courses and professional networks help, but it's essential to cross-reference information and be cautious of biases, especially from sources with conflicts of interest.
This experience highlighted the need for strong analytical skills and the ability to critically assess information. It has made me better at finding and using relevant data for informed decisions in healthcare.
