Why All Clinicians Should Learn to Code

I’m an informatics pharmacist that graduated in 2013 but did my PGY-1 in Pharmacy Practice in 2013 and PGY-2 in Pharmacy Informatics in 2014. Thus, I officially started my full-time career as an informatics pharmacist in 2015. I wanted to write about my thoughts on coding and likely share some of my insights along the way as I develop my coding skills because one of the most common questions I get from students interested in informatics is: “Do I need to learn to code to be an informatics pharmacist?”
