prerequisites for med school

I'm applying to DO schools this cycle and for some of them (not all) I need credits for like 1 more behavioral science class. I already graduated from college last summer (2023) so I was planning on fulfilling this by taking a course at my community college this fall to fill that prerequisite...

Hi, I'm a 26 year old who is not very happy with my chosen career. I had always planned on the medical field as an occupation while growing up because the thing I like learning about the most is the human body...it's fascinating, and my original goal was Nursing school. But as that time drew...

The short of it is that I'm hoping to finally start my med school prerequisites in Spring 2017 in the Boston metropolitan area and am looking for specific classes to take and places to take them. I would like to take classes at Harvard Extension, but it looks like in Spring only the second part...
