    Thanks brother for the inspiration. After a career in health and fitness, and corporate management, I’m now considering taking a similar path. I received my Master’s degree in business in 2010 at the age of 32, so I’ve been out of school for going on 14 years. At 45 this this is refreshing to see. Medicine, healthy living, and helping people has always resonated with me, so wish me luck. Thanks again for this. Peace and blessings 🙏🏾

    In my 30s and I have been a RN for 10 years, wanting to go back to Anesthesia Assistant school, so I have to do a post bacc to refresh science pre preqs. Its nice to see people going to school at any age!

    Thanks for the video. I will be 42 in October was just accepted to a postbacc premed program starting summer 2024. You sharing your journey has helped me so much. Whenever I feel unsure of myself, your videos are a great reminder that I can do this. I'm so looking forward to continuing to follow your journey. A few questions for you:
    What is your school doing to prepare you for COMLEX and USMLE?
    Are there any students in your class who are considering only taking COMLEX? If so, what specific residencies will take only COMLEX?
    Since you are considering FM/IM, would you consider a neuromuscular medicine fellowship to continue to use OMM in your practice?

    • @StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson
      @StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson  9 місяців тому +1

      Congratulations on your acceptance into the postbacc program!
      As far as board exam goes, we are given COMBANK questions during each block that coincide with our lectures. We also have Scholar-Rx which is a USMLE exam prep that coincides with First Aid. In addition I have purchased UWorld and Boot Camp. I will use the school's resources during the year and my own during dedicated board prep time. I am going to take both exams as about 65% of D.O. students do.
      Most primary care residencies accept Comlex only.
      As far as a neuromuscular medicine fellowship is concerned, it is not on my list because there are some D.O. specific primary care residencies that have OMM certifications available.

    Hello and cool situation you're in Sir.
    Is a Bachelors degree in health science a good pre med program to enter into?
    It's about 90 units.

    • @StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson

      That would be a good course of study. Just be sure the curriculum includes that science prerequisites. Some classes are similar but may not be accepted by certain medical schools.

      @StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson Hey Sir,
      What would happen if someone made it to Med School, completed the 4 years, but does NOT get into a residency?
      What practice is available for that individual?

    • @StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson
      @StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson  10 днів тому

      You would still be a licenced physician so you could work as a hospitalist or a medical consultant. Most people will match in the 2nd round though.
