Jackson State University’s College of Health Sciences has been awarded funding from the United States Department of Health and Human Services to support PHIT’s workforce development training. PHIT has introduced HISTA (Health, Informatics, Science and Technology Academy) for High School Students. The goal is to expose students to informatics and analytics, preparing them to pursue degrees and opportunities in the field. This Summer, HISTA will provide an opportunity for students to stay on campus for four weeks to participate in training that will expose them to careers in informatics and analytics. Students will learn about artificial intelligence, cyber security, data sciences, bioinformatics, machine learning, Tableau, Python, and R.
