What members say
Why members stay
"I joined ASHDS during my first year as an analyst, mostly because the student membership was affordable. The special interest groups gave me people to ask the questions I was too embarrassed to ask at work, and I passed my CAHDS exam a year later. It changed how seriously my team takes me."
Tobias Andersson, MS, CAHDS
Senior Healthcare Analyst, Pinewood Regional Medical Group
"What keeps me renewing is that the content is written for people doing the work, not selling to it. The model documentation guidelines alone saved my team months of arguing about standards we could have just adopted. I have sent at least a dozen colleagues the State of Health Data Science report."
Yuki Tanaka, MPH, CHDS
Director of Population Health Analytics, Brookline Medical Center
"I have belonged to a lot of professional societies over thirty years, and most become noise. ASHDS is the rare one where I learn something at every symposium and where the people setting the standards are the people I would actually trust with my patients' data. That is not a small thing."
