Medical Students and Programming?

I wanna investigate if there are medical students who learn programming on Sololearn! If there is any, share your outlook on programming generally, and how could programming be a boon in our medical career.

Not a medical student myself, but you can sure benefit from Python and its scipy library. Genomic research, medical diagnosis and vaccine composition modelling come to my mind at an instant...

I have a friend similar to what you ask for.. Just to let you know.. It's kinda needed now days. But in college they just teach you the basics stuff

I am studying to become a doctor, I chose this profession because my father is a surgeon. I really like this field of activity and I’m soon entering an internship, but in order to get there, I need a letter of recommendation and I ordered it here https://www.lorservice.com/medical-school-letter-of-recommendation-writing-service/ and I think that I will do it without any problems. By the way, I want to be a pediatrician, because working with children is very cool.

Hi, Ahmed Ali. I myself am a medical student who started learning programming on platforms like Sololearn. Surprisingly, this proved to be a deciding factor. Coding skills have improved my problem solving skill and analytical thinking, which is crucial in medicine. For example, automating data analysis or creating patient monitoring apps saves time, and that's very important, isn't it? And now, my advice for you: start small, perhaps with Python. It's versatile and beginner-friendly. Take on projects that fit medical needs, such as developing a simple data organization tool or a basic medical reference application. I think it will be great practice for you...) Here's where I found a short story about how programming skills can be useful: https://www.hardwaretimes.com/secure-ehr-emr-systems-for-healthcare-businesses-implementation-and-integration-with-medical-devices/ So, when I initially dove into this unq experience, it totally flipped my outlook on problem-solving in the medical game. The mad technical skills I've picked up have been a real game-changer on my med journey. Take a shot at it, and who knows, you might unlock the dope synergy between medicine and programming))
