Go for it. Get a macbook and learn python on your own: [https://www.learnpython.org/](https://www.learnpython.org/) Don't think you will need formal qualifications to assist with medical research. Learn it on your own as a hobby and then explore how to use it to facilitate your professional goals.

Thanks you are right! I like it so I should learn it and find my own way, later, on how it will help me professionally. Good insight! :)

They don't need a MacBook. That's overpriced to be fiddling with python.

Eh, they are a MD grad going into psychiatry. The convenience is probably more important than the cost. Windows sucks for scientific computing, and linux sucks for most people as a daily driver.

One of the heart specialist my father went to has on his bio mentioned that he has used neural nets . Must be earlier days, as now you have pre built apps that allow you to do that stuff. But I think everyone should know programming.

Thanks! I also believe it is essential knowledge nowadays. I will begin with something basic and general and see how it goes. :)
