Hello All,
Just want to say that this site is wonderful. Anyway, I have been working in Cardiac Rehab for a couple of years and have been looking into PA and MD/DO programs. At first, I was interested in the PA profession, but as soon as I mentioned my interest to some of the residents and docs here at the hospital, they suggested I go to med school. Well, I'm already 31 (having served 5 years in the Marines) and feel I'm behind the eight ball as far as age is concerned. My big thing is I really don't see PA's practicing until they're 70 or so, like some docs do. Making a commitment to med school at this time is quite nerve wracking. Any advice on this? Thanks.
Doug
