“Dr. Jeff Malins gave an outstanding guest presentation in my Healthcare Data Science course at UVA. His talk seamlessly blended practical career guidance with personal storytelling, highlighting his inspiring transition from academic research to a data science role at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Malins’s ability to clearly explain key skills — from communication to project organization — made a lasting impact on our students. His engaging and thoughtful style, combined with deep industry insight, makes him an exceptional mentor for anyone considering a career shift into healthcare data science.”

“Jeff was wonderful! His insightful questions really helped me clarify common themes in my past experiences that I can lean on in post-PhD life. I left the session feeling much more confident in my own skills and hopeful for what I can do with them. His curiosity, warmth, and sincere interest in what I had to say was balm for a frazzled recent PhD. I would highly recommend Jeff for anyone looking for help with moving from academia to industry.”
