Hi everyone,
I'm new to SDN as I am just starting a career change to medicine. I'm currently applying to formal post-bacc programs and I am wondering about my chances of getting in. I'm also weighing it against the option of doing a DIY post-bacc at a local state school. I would prefer to complete the prereqs in one year starting 2021.
I graduated in May with a cumulative uGPA of 3.75. My main concern is that I lack volunteering/shadowing hours. I was involved in extracurriculars in college, but I have no medical-related experience and it is difficult to find any right now. I enrolled in an EMT course with plans of volunteering as an EMT, but I don't know of any other ways to get clinical exposure.
Any advice on applying to career changer post-baccs or recommendations for programs to apply to? Would also appreciate any tips on getting medical experience during COVID.
