Okay, so the subject pretty much explains it all. I am a first year Physical Therapy student, and I’ve realized that I enjoy Physiatry more than Physical Therapy. I’ll explain. I observed with multiple PT’s over a course of two to three years, and I thought it was something I would enjoy doing for the rest of my life. This past summer I met a D.O. who explained what she done on a daily basis (She specialized in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation), and I fell in love. The next few weeks I observed what she done, and I realized that it was something I could see myself doing for the next 40+ years. Anyways, I was going to apply to Med school, but my parents purchased a house for me. So I felt terrible for telling them that I changed my mind. So here is my question. If I want to change professions, how would I go about doing it? Should I finish out my first year and apply to Med school (I haven’t taken Organic Chemistry or the MCAT). Also, since I haven’t taken O-Chem, is it possible to take PT classes during the summer while taking O-Chem? Our Summer classes are mainly ethical courses, and a short clinical rotation. On the bright side, there is a D.O. program less than 45 minutes from my current program.
