hello,

i'm fairly new to the forum. I am thinking of going back to MD/DO school. I am in the healthcare profession right now(OD) and have been in the field for a few years. I spoke with a premed health advisor and she told me that schools do not look favorably to applicants who jump ship from one healthcare profession to another unless the reasoning is very profound. My reasoning is not profound at all but like others I want to have a bigger scope in medicine to help others. Anyone out there know if that is true? Will my boring reasoning not be good enough?

any words would be appreciated

Wanting to 'do more" is OK, but you'll need more than merely that.

On one hand, you're at a slight disadvantage because you'll have to explain this. On the upside, nobody will fault you for lack of clinical experience.
