Hi all,
I graduated from pharmacy school but made the decision to transition to medical school after completing my clinical rotations. After pharmacy school, I was fortunate enough to match into a PGY-1 residency position for my gap year. I'm currently an M1. Many people (including admission committee members) would think that transitioning from pharmacy to medical school would be easy and seemingly painless, given the vast overlap in clinical knowledge base that the career paths have. However, I found this to be purely assumptive and not true at all. I am more than happy to help/provide advice/share my perspective on what the process was like when transitioning and what my concerns/major challenges were.
