At the same time, I’ve been programming on and off for about five years and spent over two years working full-time in an IT company as a front-end developer.

Despite being back in medicine, I constantly feel drawn back to programming. I enjoy building things, solving technical problems, and working with code.

I’m trying to figure out what the best direction forward might be. One option is to leave medicine and go fully into software again. But it feels like a waste not to somehow combine my medical background with my technical skills.

I’m not primarily interested in going down the data analyst route — I’d rather leverage my frontend/full-stack development skills if possible.

Are there career paths where medicine and software development meaningfully intersect? Has anyone here taken a similar path?
