I was hoping some people here could provide me with some advice or perhaps act as a sounding board. Let me give you a little intro to myself and situation, any and all advice is welcome.
I am 28 years old and am currently finishing Paramedic school. My rotations will be complete soon with an August graduation date. I have flip-flopped for some time on whether or not I wanted to go to medical school after choosing medicine as a career. I am unsure whether to do this or nursing. I love emergency medicine and it is the primary reason I have chosen to be a paramedic.
I know that the D.O route is possibly an easier one than M.D. I currently have a 3.1 GPA overall and a 4.0 in the Paramedic program. I would graduate with an advanced emergency medicine AAS and transfer to my local university (ASU) to complete a biology BS. I have failed three classes (math, chemistry and advanced A&P) because I had to drop them halfway through to begin the paramedic program (its full time) I am unsure whether or not I would be competitive and if I even have the drive. No matter what I want to be in medicine and in the ER. Any thoughts or comments would be welcome.
