Hi! Has anyone here made the transition from a career as a certified PathA/PA to medical school, and ultimately becoming a doctor?

I’m now planning to apply to medical school and I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully done this!

It looks like your post came through wonky. It seems to happen sometimes when people post from hand held devices.

Anyway, happy PA day! If you have any specific questions on how to navigate, we're here to help.

Edit: Just so you know as well, it looks like the old SDN app on mobile devices causes the issue. Either using a regular browser or tapatalk should fix the issue.

Hi! Has anyone here made the transition from a career as a certified PathA/PA to medical school, and ultimately becoming a physician? I am 31 years old and have been practicing as a Pathologists’ Assistant for 7 years. I’m now planning to apply to medical school and I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully done this or something similar.

PS. This is my second attempt at posting since my first draft posted weirdly from the app.
 
Thanks for the heads up! I just reposted using the web browser. You’re right, it seems to work better. Thanks again!
