Course Outcomes

The Code Med course has shown me that really anyone can learn to code. The classes are engaging and interactive and the pace is just right. The supplementary written materials are concise and clear. Arron, Imran and Joe are excellent teachers and are always happy to give extra help outside the main sessions.

The Code Med team are excellent, if you are looking for an excellent introduction to the world of coding by a team that goes over and above to help you on your journey this is absolutely the course for you. The course really does inspire you to take your knowledge and be creative with a complete focus on healthcare, with flexible weekly sessions that fit into your schedule and highly knowledgeable and dedicated tutors to help you troubleshoot any problems along the way, it's worth every penny!

I strongly recommend the Code Med course to all those wanting to diversify their skill set and create their own digital health solutions. The course offers fantastic weekly lectures, small group teaching, and comprehensive offline learning materials. To help you navigate some of the more challenging concepts, 1:1 support is always available. It has been a great learning experience!

The Code Med course was a challenging yet exciting 12 weeks, where I learnt a lot about coding from the team! Being taught by doctors and coding medical orientated tasks made the course very relatable and enjoyable. The style of learning with breakout rooms were very useful for real-time feedback and having opportunities to ask questions to pick up concepts much more easily.

I was part of the Autumn 2021 Code Med cohort and was a core surgical trainee in plastic surgery at the time. From no prior experience whatsoever, I was taught how to build my own apps with a clinically oriented focus. Arron, Imran and Joe were an excellent team and always approachable, including with one-to-one mentoring when needed. I would definitely recommend Code Med to anyone who was hoping to broaden the spectrum of their clinical practice, and learn a new skill in the process.

Code Med has taught me skills that have already influenced my career path. I genuinely I couldn't recommend taking this course enough, whatever stage you're at with your career. It will open new doors for you, and the skills you learn are essential. The passion of the 3 doctors who teach this course is infectious, and they'll open your eyes to a lot of new opportunity. It's incredibly supported and they will all give their time outside the course to help you achieve your coding goals.

I found the course well structured and Imran, Arron and Joe work really well together as a team. They explain core concepts well and do a great job at making the complex seem simpler. They use healthcare-related applications to explain coding concepts, thus making the information more understandable and relevant. True to their word, they had us coding simple apps within a few weeks of starting and we finished the course with the tools and skills to go away and make our own apps. Whether you’ve already got an app idea in mind, or just want to take your first steps into coding with no prior knowledge, I’d highly recommend this course.

Code Med provides an incredibly well structured course, with content appropriately targeted for healthcare professionals with little coding experience like myself. What really impressed me was the individual attention provided by Arron, Joe and Imran in the small group breakout rooms. Their incredible ability to teach challenging concepts in an accessible manner transformed from me from a complete novice to being able to create functional programs in only 3 months. Thank you!

Learning to code with Code Med has inspired me to consider how coding can be integrated into clinical practice to advance our health care norms. The exercises each week enabled the skills learned to be translated into clinical context, demonstrating the potential and ability coding holds for clinicians to apply to problems found in practice. The support of the Code Med team makes the journey from writing your first line of code to problem solving functioning applications an enjoyable and supported experience.

The Code Med course has provided me with important coding fundamentals and given me the tools and confidence to pursue my own projects and learning. The interactive sessions, one-to-one mentoring and application of new concepts to a medical context make this course so effective. I have since moved on to intermediate courses and I am in the process of programming my own patient-centred mobile app using React Native.

This course is a fantastic health-focussed introduction to coding, taking you from absolute beginner to making fairly complex apps in just 12 weeks. The faculty are second to none, always eager to help during and between the sessions. Quality resources and recordings mean the realities of busy on-call rotas don’t leave anyone behind.

I had a fantastic time learning Java on this 12 week course. It was very well structured, from fundamentals to GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces), and very accessible to complete beginners. I particularly enjoyed the live coding lectures followed by breakout rooms, where you are able to try out exercises whilst having live feedback from the Code Med team. Special shout out to Matt and Imran, who ran my group's breakout room session, and were so approachable in-between sessions when I had queries about any of the exercises. I am very excited to apply what I have learned to quality improvement in the future!

Code Med is a brilliant course taught by passionate group of healthcare professionals. The combination of live sessions followed by breakout rooms really helped me to consolidate my learning and the tutors would always offer their expertise when needed, even after hours. The course has really inspired me to continue to hone my skills in coding, hopefully enabling me to integrate them into my future clinical practice as a Doctor!

I have absolutely loved this course. It has exceeded all of my expectations. I had previously attempted to learn to code previously and struggled quite a bit. This course has been very interactive and so supportive. I have felt throughout the course that the mentors are accessible and have helped me every step of the way. The team created a culture where we felt we could ask any question and the course has been designed to help nurture your coding skills as you go along. I found myself looking forward to every Thursday where I would learn a new coding technique with everyone else. This really was such a enjoyable and valuable course. I will definitely miss it!

A great methodical approach to building apps for medicine from scratch. The teachers are very approachable, knowledgeable and always willing to help.

Coding For healthcare professionals... By healthcare professionals... With healthcare examples. Very interactive & hands on.

The support throughout the course was phenomenal. Being a Code Med digital fellow helped me appreciate a whole new dimension on ways to improve healthcare through coding
