Does anyone know if any med schools have physical requirement that requires lifting or strenuous exercise?
I can stand for a bit, but I cannot do tasks like lifting patients or equipment anymore due to struggling with my health this past year leading me to quit my healthcare career before it started (currently waiting on a billion lab tests after my yearly physical).
I don’t want to claim a disability yet before getting bloodwork back. But since I apply for the 26-27 cycle I thought I might as well rule out any potential schools that are not accommodating or strongly focused on physicality.
I’m just scared I have to rethink medicine as a career because I do not think I can ever do heavy lifting or standing for hours without getting tired with brain fog.
