In collaboration with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the Division of Environmental Health oversees the ongoing surveillance activities of the California Birth Defects Monitoring Program (CBDMP). The mission of CBDMP is to collect and analyze data to identify opportunities for preventing birth defects and improving the health of babies.

Birth defects are the leading cause of infant mortality in California and the nation. CBDMP has gathered birth outcomes data for over forty years and provides a controlled-access Registry that links CBDMP birth defects information to vital statistics data.

Under the general direction of the CBDMP Registry Data Systems Manager and as a part of the Data Management team, the Registry Systems Analyst contributes to continuing the CBDMP legacy as the world-leading birth defects registry. The incumbent works with the team to design, maintain and modernize the CBDMP suite of application systems to support medical record review, diagnosis coding, case classification, and interactive reporting. The Registry Systems Analyst writes complex code and queries to collect, import, clean and integrate data.
