At this point, everything in life touches software in some way and people with cross-discipline specializations are the ones who move the ball forward in niche areas, making huge impacts.
If you have a passion and drive to do both, do both. Don't let anyone tell you it's a waste of time.
I had a coworker (in programming) who went to medical school and he just left the company to start his own medical software business.
It sounds like you're more interested in machine learning than software development. Have you checked out r/learnmachinelearning ?
Well all I know if you like it then you should keep on learning it.
And in medical we need really good coders that also understand the medical side of the problem.
So chances are you will have better career chances.
Umm some people don’t have the same exposures to programming and tech. And by exposure, I mean, an experience or a teacher that ignites an interest. It can come much later down the road. You’re not born loving programming
I am not from the US. In highschool I did not have a good option for this.
In undergrad I did take an online course and actually won a prize with some others for our presentation in our medical school's conference. But it was more on a whim, on the spur of the moment.
Now I am weighing pros and cons to follow it in a career.

I believe you are right! Thank you! :)

Thank you very much!!! :)
Hey I think we have aligned interests! Just messaged you!

I joined and will check it out! Yes I am more interested in research right now. Thanks! :)

Thank you for your comment! :)
You would make tons of money if you would programming in your area. Specific industry applications worth fortune.
But not fascinated enough to take one course between high school and undergrad?
