1) No one will want to read through the exact list of classes you took. They are on the transcript. Include the required credit hours to qualify for the certificate. A one-sentence summary of what you learned is enough.I spent my Research space talking about the lab itself, skills I acquired and used, and the fellowships I received.
If I wanted to list the Certificate in Scientific Computation and Data Science in an "Other" spot,
1) would I explain the coursework and what I learned from the certificate?
2) Or would I talk about the specific project I did for the certificate (which would kind of overlap with my Research space since I did the project in that lab)?
3) Or is there a better way to go about this?
4) I feel like the main skills I learned that are applicable to becoming a physician are proficiency in Quantitative Reasoning and Problem-Solving Skills.
2) Refer to how it has usefulness in your research, but try not to replicate the same information in both spaces if possible.
3) Explain the general purpose of the certificate. Summarize whatever the course catalog says if you have to. This general description should be at the start.
4) Say that. Don't feel obliged to fill the space if you run out of pertinent comments.
Now put it all together in a succinct, logically-organized cohesive manner.
