What are some good places online to earn certificates or degrees that you can who you a prolific in said subject? Hopefully something free maybe medical coding?

    That you can what?

    If you want medical coding, try VTK (Python version), ITK, DCMTK. There are C++ and Python versions.

    I don’t know if I’d expect them to all be in one place. Each certificate might be tired to a certain niche.

    I have no idea what I’m talking about but maybe:

    Ham radio license.

    Drone pilot license.

    And I’m sure someone will correct me if those aren’t achievable online.

    The university I graduated from: “University of the People”.

    It’s an online uni in Pasadena, California. They’re regionally and nationally accredited. From an accreditation standpoint, they’re at par with other unis, so you won’t have to worry about that. Super affordable. Plus, they’re not a for profit thing, so that’s cool too.

    There are a couple of drawbacks though. They won’t place you anywhere. I don’t know how the placement for other unis works, but it is quite non existent for UoPeople. The other drawbacks are again all of those that online education has in general.

    That can show you are prolific?

    Wouldn’t you want to excel in the subject instead of just being prolific?

      Yes I want something to learn and know i completed it. I love learning which is why I learned the piano but became bored after a while because it was no longer a challenge

        Ah; so you want a collection of “yes, I can do this” items.

        It’s not free, but I highly recommend night school courses in trade skills (welding, basic electrical wiring, basic plumbing and pipe fitting, etc).

    I’m guessing “proficient” was the intended word!

    Medical coding covers a huge range of disciplines.

    For medical research like protein folding, you’d be best studying Machine Learning.

    For medical admin systems, you’d be best studying databases, UX and the like.

    I did Computer Visualisation at university. One of our assignments was taking the huge list of numbers generated by a MRI scanner and then creating a program to parse that data into a volumetric model. That kind of thing is yet again another discipline.

    None of these skills are particularly medicine-specific. If you work out what it is exactly what you want to do, you’ll more easily find resources for it.

    CodeAcademy has a pretty diverse selection of courses - I signed my team up to them and they’ve all found different niches to study.
