Can I just say thank you. What an inspiration. I’m in my 40’s and after years in military and aviation I really want to pursue this dream. My family are from NC and your school is totally on my radar! What a wonderful and hopeful moment realizing programs don’t discriminate and my dream can potentially become reality
fair play suzanne ,youre an inspiration to all the oldies.Im 48 and a first yr PA after a long struggle with mental illness.Its perfectly suited to me and not like work at all.Pity I'll have to retire in 15 yrs time though.
Congratulations! I am 40 next month and have finally found the courage that I lacked 20 years ago to admit to my working class peers that I have always dreamt of becoming a doctor. I am using my redundancy package to pay for a medical course. I am scared as I have a 9 month old baby but I hope she will one day be proud of me!
Wow this is so inspirational. I came across this channel by accident and l am so glad l did. Been wanting to go and study medicine at 32 and l felt l was too old. I guess there is no such thing as too old. Definitely going for that career change
So inspired by your story!! I hate the tragedy that brought you on this journey, but I would love to hear more from you!! In the same boat....please pray for me!!😭❤
I would love to hear more of your story. Did you need to retake courses to satisfy the prerequisites for medical school. How did you prepare for the MCAT? Since many schools require clinical hours how did you fulfill those? What you have shared thus far is very inspiring and encouraging. I wish you and your family the best in your personal and professional life.
