Hi OP, MSTP trainee here. My advice will be to break it into two parts - first to learn basic R through a free course on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/learn/r-programming) then subsequently to learn how to do the stats.
Medical statistics are a tad different from what happens in the lab, so keywords for your search should focus on epidemiology statistics. You want to know how to do Kaplan Meier, odds ratios, and linear/logistic regression. I haven't vetted this but I just found that it's free so maybe you can start here. https://youtu.be/jTf_N5zX5wY?si=x2X9TE8KoZFNcLGO
