Hi guys.
Just before getting flamed for not being a med student hear me out first.
I graduated from medical school this year outside US. That will make me an IMG and currently I'm doing my preparations to take step 1. So basically, still a student, now to my problem (or inquiry).
I've always love computer technology since I was a child. In high school, me and my friends designed a very simple software for one of our teachers, and since then I've always had this craving for software development. My parents kind of pushed me to Med school, and I say "kind of" because I too liked the idea of becoming a MD.
I've looked at other posts and there seems to be something for MDs that are also interested in software engineering. Please elaborate on this, are there courses I can take? what kind of job will that get me?.
Bare in mind I love medicine and I'm going to go for my boards certification no matter what in order to get into residency, but I will love to have something where I can mix both things, so any suggestions?
Thanks
