Just wanted to find out from those who have made the transition from PT or other allied health professions to med school; how was the transition and why did you decide to attend med school.
I am seriously considering going to med school after I finish up the requirements for admission, while I work for 1-2 years as a newly graduated PT. I just came to the realization while in PT school that I wanted to have the capacity to fully care for a patient, whether it be as an ortho doc performing surgery or a PM&R doc providing comprehensive musculoskeletal medical care. I would not limit myself to these specialties, and would be open to others while in med school.
Any insightful info would be appreciated.
