Clinical Data Analyst Skills and Qualifications
Clinical data analysts use analytical and computer skills to study and compile data, isolate potential problems, and maintain clinical databases to ensure information is accurate and easy to access. Employers look for these specific skills when hiring clinical data analysts:
- Computer skills – strong computer skills are essential for clinical data analysts, who compile data, create databases, and analyze information using various software
- Analytical thinking – clinical data analysts use analytical skills to study data and isolate potential problems
- Communication skills – clinical data analysts use written communication skills to write reports; they use verbal communication skills to collaborate with other data management and medical staff members
- Attention to detail – clinical data analysts use strong attention to detail to spot data patterns, monitor data usage, and verify data accuracy
- Organization skills – clinical data analysts use organization skills to build databases and compile data that’s easily accessible to others
- Multitasking – clinical data analysts perform various tasks at once, which requires good multitasking

Clinical Data Analyst Education and Training
A majority of employers require clinical data analysts to have a bachelor’s degree in computer science, life science, a health-related field, or a similar field of study. Though not required, many employers prefer candidates who have a master’s degree. However, real-world work experience can be substituted for additional education in the eyes of many employers. Little to no training is provided to clinical data analysts, who already have the education and skills needed to perform their regular job duties. However, new clinical data analysts often work closely with the data team supervisor during the first few weeks of employment to become comfortable with the medical facility’s data needs and goals.
Clinical Data Analyst Salary and Outlook
Information from PayScale shows that clinical data analysts earn $62,341 in median annual income. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that database administrators earn $87,020 in median annual income. Database administrators use software to store and organize data, performing many of the same tasks as clinical data analysts. BLS projections show that these jobs are likely to increase 11 percent through 2026, a rate that is faster than the national average. Most employers provide clinical data analysts with full health insurance coverage that includes medical, dental, and vision benefits. Paid holidays, vacation days, and sick days are typically included in these packages, as are life insurance and retirement planning options. Some medical facilities offer additional perks such as free parking, free meals, and free access to gym facilities.
