I am currently a senior at a university in Texas about to obtain a B.S. in Kinesiology. I intended to pursue a career as a physical therapist, however I have found that my heart is to pursue an M.D. or D.O. instead. Therefore, I have considered applying to a formal post-bacc program for career changers as I won't be able to complete the rest of the pre-reqs before I graduate which I would need to qualify for an SMP. I have completed most required pre-med courses within my degree except Organic Chemistry I & II with labs and would like to add other courses such as biochemistry, calculus and microbiology etc. to help prepare for medical school. However, I don't know if I want to enroll in a formal post bacc program or try to do DIY post bacc.
-I have research experience (two years)
- Little to no clinical experience (only for PT)
- no shadowing for MD
There are pros/cons for both, but what would you do in my shoes?? I'm trying to save money, yet be in a rigorous environment where I will have an opportunity to gain meaningful clinical experiences.
