Summary

I'm currently employed by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, a large, nonprofit hospital, as a Masters-level Biostatistician. I am a member of the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, which—in addition to a large number of computing and administrative support personnel—consists of a number of statisticians (Bachelor's level and up) who are grouped into teams according to the medical specialties of the “investigators” (generally doctors working on research projects) they collaborate with. For example, we have a Cancer team, a Cardio team, a Radiology team, etc. I am part of the Radiology team.

The Radiology team is physically located in the Radiology Department of the Clinic, so there are always patients and doctors passing by my office. I like that; it's a constant reminder that the studies I work on have a direct effect on people's lives, and it helps me keep things in perspective. Being around patients who are here for a CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, or X-ray helps me appreciate the little things in life and minimize the everyday frustrations and stresses we face.

The Radiology team consists of myself and my supervisor/colleague, a PhD statistician. Our work primarily involves helping radiologists with the design and analysis of studies. These studies usually involve assessing the diagnostic ability of the imaging techniques (see previous paragraph) that radiologists use to take pictures of the human body and make diagnoses based (in large part)on these pictures.
