Partner Commentary

"The MMA program allowed students to gather information, get comfortable in an area that they鈥檙e not very familiar with, and come up with sophisticated solutions that were immediately applicable in a very short period of time,鈥� says Dr. Adrian Dancea, pediatric cardiologist and a physician who worked with MMA students earlier this year. The partnership between the Children鈥檚 and the MMA program has tremendous value in finding novel solutions to complex problems created by outside events - an asset that is likely to prove helpful not just in the past, but in the future as well.

Student Commentary

Katia Sory

Thanks to this project, I have learned to bridge the gap - that every new graduate student has to face - between my theoretical concepts and the industry market. I quickly realized the importance of understanding the business world and its realities to tailor a solution to meeting the clients' requirements. Moreover, this project provided me with the validation that I could see all of my new skills and knowledge (acquired throughout the MMA program) integrated into my work.

The faculty and client mentorship during my year at 成人VR视频 have laid solid foundations of support and guidance. Specifically, they helped me tremendously in getting my bearings and navigate between my professional etiquette with the clients and my problem-solving process when tackling the client's business issue.

As far as I am concerned, the most exciting part of the project was to bring my analytical skills to the table while giving back to the community during an unprecedented crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has been hitting and pressuring the healthcare industry, so the actual decision to work with the Montreal Children's Hospital was also exciting on its own.

To my fellow future MMA students, I would say: "Buckle up for this intensive yet rewarding year because you will be learning soft and hard skills regardless of your previous background."

This project enabled me to see a new intersection between telehealth and data analytics, which gave me the opportunity to explore a new field and area of interest that I never thought about before pursuing my masters.

With little experience in healthcare, the project served as an eye opener to explore a new interesting field, where the power of data analytics can be deployed and harnessed to provide tremendous value to stakeholders. It was interesting to see how the skills I learned throughout the MMA program can be transferable across different industries.

By having the right guidance and mentorship from the faculty and client, I was able to successfully learn about an interesting new industry and understand the value of data analytics in healthcare.

I believe that future students should not hesitate to choose a project that is not relevant to their previous experience or education. Incoming students can learn about new industries, and explore new fields, which is always interesting. I encourage students to be audacious and have the willingness to learn about new areas where data analytics can be applied.

Working directly with a client gave us the opportunity to fit our solution to their needs and experience what it鈥檚 like to respond to a real-world problem.

We could not have done this project without the mentorship of the hospital. Their team understands the problem we were trying to solve better than anyone because they live it. Even a near perfect model wouldn鈥檛 mean anything if we had used the wrong data or created a solution that wasn鈥檛 feasible to implement. In our case, this was particularly important for us when we were deciding how to group observations into categories and which variables to use in our analysis.

The most exciting part of this project was getting to work on an analytical problem that directly impacted the community around us. The goal for our solution is really to make it easier for the hospital to continue to care for patients during the pandemic.
