How to become a contact tracer, one of the fastest-growing jobs in America.
"Silicon Valley is designing apps to automate contact tracing. Such apps have worked well in parts of Asia, like China and South Korea, but in the United States we have a very different expectation of privacy and civil liberties," says Daniel Gabriel, a former CIA officer and CEO of AM LLC, a health-care information technology firm that has branched out into contact tracing.
Meanwhile, NORC at the University of Chicago, one of the country's largest independent research institutions, is doing contact tracing in Maryland. Through its partnership with NORC, the state has quadrupled its existing Covid-19 surveillance capacity, according to NORC. "A big part of contact tracing," he adds, "is that you're calling someone to talk about private health-related matters, and so you need to build trust and rapport with those folks."
