So for the past couple of years I have been going back and forth as to whether or not I should try to become a pt or a medical doctor. I have a lot of experience with being a pt patient which is part of the reason I was drawn to the profession in the first place. But in college I've been really interested in the sciences and some of the medicine that pt's don't necessarily use on a daily basis. I know I want to go into health sciences, I'm just not sure which route is the best fit for me. I know that I want to be able to build relationships with my patients and I also want to work with athletes, as I am a very active girl all on my own! Part of me thinks I would do better as a pt if that's all I want, but I also like the idea that I could use sciences in medicine that I wouldn't in physical therapy. What do you guys think?
Also, I am a behavioral neuroscience major right now. If I were to change to being pre-physical therapy should I change my major to kinesiology because it is better preparation for pt school? So many questions in my head! Thank you guys for any insights you bring to me!
