Hey guys, I’m new to the community and I need some advice from you guys.
My girlfriend is in chiropractic school. Before I continue on chiropractic let me tell you about her. She was a text book pre-med student in undergrad as well as an AEMT. Her passion was always medicine and her dream was and is to go to D.O. School. When she finished undergrad her father continued to urge her to get her life started. He emphasized that another 4 years for school & residency wasn’t in her best interest. While she felt differently she decided to pursue P.A. So that she could stay on the time frame her father had her on. She wasn’t accepted into PA school and he was over the whole process as a whole & he was also ready to stop helping her and providing for her. She decided to settle for chiropractic. She told me she enjoyed going to her chiropractor, she did like some of the things within chiropractic but overall she wasn’t passionate about it, and doesn’t care for it. She has one year left in the program but she doesn’t care for it at all. Her passion was to be a D.O. I’ve told her that it isn’t too late, I’m in med school and she basically told me that she’s happy to see me finally in considering how hard I had to fight for it but she feels very sad because she always wishes it were her. I understand her feelings. So guys, what should her next steps be? She’s taken so many courses from majority of all pre-reqs, she has the chiropractic classes also which maybe will count for something.. any advice on this would be helpful! Thanks in advance.
