Since I and a majority of other students come from a healthcare background like B Pharm, Pharm D, BDS, MBBS, Nursing, and Nutrition it is hard for us to adapt to the coding subjects. The positive aspect is that the professors make it easy for us by explaining the coding part from basics but they expect us to know the general analysis and statistics which they haven't mentioned during admission webinars.
