Hi, so i will be starting pharm school in august and my school offers a pharmD/masters of science in health informatics dual degree. I am really considering doing this but i wanted to know more about the carreer opportunities. I was wondering if anyone here has any info that would help me out?

All dependent on time commitment. Anything requiring two or more extra years isn't worth it. Better to do PGY-1 + 2 (you at least get paid). The market for informatics is highly regional also. Hot in Wisconsin, so do some rotations around that area during your P4 year. A masters degree isn't as valuable as experience.
