Yeah, in Healthcare you do get tested often, don't you?
I code back end api systems that interact with Mobile devices. I know for a fact that healthcare companies have mobile development teams. Your knowledge of healthcare + iOS programming (learn swift) will go a long way.
I did an online iOS class a few years ago. It was fun. Go for it... I never regretted pivoting my career and becoming a developer.
However for $29.99 there is a Swift dev class on Udemy that claims to take beginners to mastery https://www.udemy.com/share/101OMtAkAScVdTTQ==/
The caveat is that this class uses Swift 3 and the current version is swift 5. I see no problem starting with Swift 3.
If you have programming experience then by all means jump in.
To get your first job in programming you need coding examples of projects you built. So be sure to complete and have working versions of your Swift projects you can demo during your interviews.
Build a couple of health related iOS apps as examples. Like a reminder to check on a patient every few hours - in the reminder list patient name, room number and notes, for example. Nothing that is production worthy, just simple and useful.
Go look up commonly asked technical questions for Swift. Practice logic puzzles. The technical interview is no joke. Good luck!
oh dear.. what industry do you work in?

Do you have any programming experience?
If not, I would not jump into Swift but look at an intro to programming. Why do I recommend that? Because you'll learn User Interface principles. You also need an intro to programming class to learn foundational concepts. Here is a gentle introduction: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/a-gentler-introduction-to-programming-1f57383a1b2c/
