    I’m guessing “proficient” was the intended word! :)

    “Medical coding” covers a huge range of disciplines.

    For medical research like protein folding, you’d be best studying Machine Learning.

    For medical admin systems, you’d be best studying databases, UX and the like.

    I did Computer Visualisation at university. One of our assignments was taking the huge list of numbers generated by a MRI scanner and then creating a program to parse that data into a volumetric model. That kind of thing is yet again another discipline.

    None of these skills are particularly medicine-specific. If you work out what it is exactly what you want to do, you’ll more easily find resources for it.

    CodeAcademy has a pretty diverse selection of courses - I signed my team up to them and they’ve all found different niches to study.
