Im currently a captain serving on active duty in the Army. In 2009, after a few years of soul searching, I decided that I wanted to fulfill my dream of becoming a physician. I had a couple former college roommates attending osteopathic medical schools at that time, and after talking to them, visiting with an Army DO buddy of mine, and reading about the profession, I decided that it was for me. I had a B.S. (non science major) from BYU-Idaho and basically needed all of the required prerequisites. I took BIO I &II with labs at the University of South Carolina at night. I loved the classes and did well, but then I got orders to move to KY. After a tour in Afghanistan and another move, its been two years since Ive had to stop my studies. I cant leave active duty for another three years, and my new line of work will have me overseas every 3-6 months. Im not willing to postpone my preparation any longer, but attending college courses in the evenings arent an option. I recently stumbled on the UNE COMs website and saw they had an online post bacc sequence available. I would much rather physically attend lectures and labs; its just not feasible for the foreseeable future.
I was interested to hear any thoughts on these courses and this potential route for fulfilling the prerequisites. Thanks for your time.
