I’m 50, this is my first year of medical school!!

I’m 38 and going back to take my science classes needed to enter medical school. I put my life on hold for 20 years for my son, my parents and care for myself. I do not regret it because the experiences will definitely play a huge part in me becoming a great physician. I know it takes hard work but I will not look back and say I wish anymore.❤️🥰 Thank you for these videos.

I graduated from medical school at 50. I am an IMG. Took time off to work. Started residency at 53 and now completing my Obstetrics fellowship. I did everything late and I exercise and feel like I am 20, no grey hair, brain is sharp. I have 5 children and sacrificed a lot and missed out. My wife and kids did not live with me throughout my medical journey and I was lonely, I owe several ks in loans but no regrets. Soon I will be an Attending. I want to be an inspiration and for me age is just a number.

32 just started school to become an aircraft mechanic. I love the energy of the comments! Let’s goooooo yall! ❤

I'm 57yrs old adjust began my career as an Ultrasound Technician. It was an 8 and a half year journey.I faced so many obstacles and crisis, but I finally made it. I encourage everyone to not let the idea of age stop you from following your dreams.

I'm 46 years and just putting in for my PHD. Inspiring . I thought I was late at this table but, 51 years . I'm glad I am back in school

I’m 49 going back to school and you sir are definitely an inspiration

Congratulations, you’re inspiring! I decided to go for my FNP at age 62 and recently graduated! It’s the best decision I ever made! Blessings always ❤

I graduated Med school last year.From a doctor sending support to a soon to be doctor . Im rooting for you .😊its worth it!

I’m 32 wrapping up my 3rd year of med school, sending blessings to everyone’s 🙏 journey in medicine. Thank you for sharing your story

25 and tired of bussing tables. Going to WGU to get an accelerated BS in Cybersecurity. Always felt like a failure for not doing this at 18, but this comment section has helped my mental healthy immensely. LETS GO!

I love seeing non traditional students post videos. I will be 42 in a couple months and I’m a 3rd year medical student. It’s not easy being away from family but at the end of the day, it will all be worth it.

I just turned 35 years old (a black female) I’m a child of neglect and abuse and I’m entering my second year and seeing a man of color making videos like this got me tearing up because my first bully was my father. I don’t see many black men in my state or around me wanting to work in medicine or go to medical school. “Shit not even in my co-hort” I love that KZfaq has opened up another world for people like me because I never knew any of these career fields were an option. I was only told we can be CNA’s , MA’s home health aids etc. so, I wanna thank you for your content and I love how you talk about your kids! It seems like you have a wonderful support system also. 🤎🧡🤍🖤

Im finishing my degree in cellular and molecular medicine. I'll be 40 when I start med school. ❤ This entire comment section is very encouraging and inspiring.

I just turned 37 this year, and always felt too old to start my med school journey. I needed this! ☝🏾💯

I’m 38 , with six kids , 1st year of my BSN program ! I’m glad I found your channel .

I started medical school at the age of 44 this year. I am about to finish my first semester, and my final test scores are higher than most of the traditional students. I might face economic challenges in the coming one or two semesters, which may force me to quit, but it has been a great experience so far.

51 years young 💪💪KEEP GOING!! YOU GOT THIS

You are such an inspiration!!!! I became an LPN this year and I love it. I am 46 years old and I refused to let my age or discouraging words from the naysayers stop me from reaching my goals. You are living proof that no matter who doubts or does not support you, you can set goals for yourself and accomplish those goals. I put Jesus first in my life and I haven't looked back!!! Thank you for sharing your story.

I subscribed as soon as I saw the title. I’m 49 and in my third year of Law school.

Starting my PhD in Physics this August. I will be 61.

Im 50 and just started a new career track in Cybersecurity. Thanks for the inspiration-

Congrats... Man you look like you're 30 years old. keep going don't stop.

I wish people in their late 20s early 30s could see this comment section. So many aspirational comments from older people showing you can do this journey or pivot your career at any age it’s beautiful ❤❤❤❤

Hey thanks for the video. I got tons of haters and people saying I’m too old at go into medicine in my 40s. Either way, the time is going to pass, whether it’s in med school or home on the couch or some company’s office space. Thanks for inspiring us sir!

Went back to school for respiratory therapy at 50 just finished at 52.

I am 50, and I am studying to get the NCLEX exam. It is not an easy process for me because, first at all, English is not my first language, and second, it has been 8 years since I didn't work as a nurse, but you are inspired me. Thank you for your video. God bless you.

Best wishes for your rotations. I was 38 when I started med school(KCU ‘94). Get those presentations down, practice as much as possible (like practicing a sermon). Present patients to your dog, cat, goldfish, whatever. Record yourself presenting then critique yourself. Good presentations on rotations and later during residency will get you further than you know. Good job on working on maintaining your health. Med student or not we are aging and it takes more effort than for your younger classmates. I’m looking forward to following your progress.

I'm 32 years old right now, last year i started the journey of medical school, now I'm in second year. It's not easy at all, but hard work and dedication will pay!

That's what one of my father's fraternity brothers did. They were both electrical engineers, but the frat bro went to medical school at age 50. Go for it.

Im 38 starting my masters in the fall. This is motivational brother.

Hey brutha! I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!😄👍♥️ What a journey! I've been following for some time (pre-med years). To me, the most impressive thing, is that you and your wonderful wife, have kept such a strong relationship! 😊 My wife was such an important part of my success in PA school and when I was earning my doctorate in my 40s. 😍🧕🏽You've inspired a BUNCH of us "old folks", to push on-ward and upward! May the Lord grant you continued success in your positive endeavors!

This is encouraging. I will be 50 in December of this year, and I am planning to apply for my PhD program, taking on the second masters in marketing before heading into doctoral studies. Thank you for the encouragement. New subscriber. Have a great one.

I just completed my Masters Degree last year at the age of 56. All my family has passed on but I know they were looking down on me from Heaven as I walked across that stage❤️ It’s encouraging to read so many comments of others taking huge steps later in life in their careers.

I just went back to school! I am 54! Thank you for your inspiration!

I am 51 and about to lose my job. I really needed to watch this. Thank you for the inspiration. Onwards and upwards!!!

I'm 39 and just finished a nursing program with the intention of getting my Doctorate in Anesthesia. You're inspiring! Thank you for sharing your 2nd career story ❤

I am 25 and going back to school. I am at a cross roads between choosing an engineering career and becoming a medical doctor. Your transparency is refreshing and extremely insightful.

You look a doctor already. Well done for believing in yourself and all the best Dr.

Here I am a 31 post bacc student thinking it's too late... this was inspiring 👏🏾

Thank you so much. I am 57 and I have been an LPN for 30 years now. I was a candy striper for a hospital in my teens and volunteered at a doctor's office in the summer months, also in my teen years. I will be in my 60's when I complete my undergrad program. I am so glad I found this video, but definitely inspired. Thank you so much.

I Love this, I'm 45 and in school for Cybersecurity. It's never too late. With my life experience, it goes great with my career choice. I am so excited to be on my journey. Good look to you Doc!!😍😍

I am 34 years old. I have been a touring and studio musician/producer/mixer since I was 16 years old. Toured all over and worked with a ton of cool artists and musicians and played some legendary shows and made some music along the way. I also have a bachelors in business and got a degree in music as well. I run two small businesses at the moment. I always felt like something was missing, I wanted to help people and use my brain and technical skills in any way that I could. Always loved the idea of medicine/surgery and after recently losing my dad, decided to change careers and pursue becoming a physician. Your story and journey is inspiring and uplifting to hear. There are many great medical KZfaqrs, but they are all very young and already very established in their careers, so it is nice to hear from someone with a different path! Your wisdom and knowledge definitely shine through in your story. I can tell you will make a fantastic physician soon! I am enrolled in a biomedical post bacc program finishing up my science prerequisites, plan on applying to med school in 2026. Would love to hear a bit about your application process and what extra curriculars helped you stand out. Thank you for sharing!

So this means i am not too old to start my IT career. i am 48 years old. Thank you for this.

I graduated from medical school at the age of 24 years nowadays I'm 25 and I plan to start an internal medicine residency in 2025 I hope to be on a good. journey.

Nice I’m 36, and struggling to pass the bar exam..!! I was thinking I was getting too old. This is motivation. ❤

It takes the courage of one person in order to make everyone comfortable and free to speak out loud. Thank you sir!

Hi Antonio. We are the same age and I just want to say that I am so inspired by you. I too, went back to school later in life. I went back to finish my degree in education when I was 38. My dream was to work overseas and at 43, I sold everything and took this show on the road. Now I’m 51, and have been overseas 8 years. If I heard you correctly, your background is in education and ministry. What a wonderful foundation for a medical doctor. I wish you and your family all the blessings in this challenging, but rewarding journey. Here’s to us non-traditional students of life! By the way, your video is good to me. The value of your content is able to shine through. No frills required😊

Great video! Congrats on starting your third year. I'm a long time RT who's getting ready to go through an accelerated BSN program with hopes of becoming an NP. I'm 53 now, so for me it's now or never. I look forward to watching more of your videos and re-learning how to study.

My God it’s encouraging to see other in a similar journey ……. 42 at the end of my first year…. Rocking with 19 year olds and loving it

I will be 41 and now in 4th year medical school. I did clinical assistant and worked for two years. Later did surgery for 3 years and worked for 4 years. Entered medical school 4 years ago and now in 4th year. Thank you for this video. I thought I was late but you just made my day.

I am an LPN and at 46 I’m in school for my RN. I have a strong urge to not stop there. I am considering medical school, but am afraid because of my age. I am so thankful I found your channel. What an encouragement you are!!!!!

I give you kudos as a fellow Arkansan as I am looking at returning back to pursue my deferred dream of medical school at 47 years old. Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement!!! May God continue to bless and keep you and your family!!!

I'm so inspired by everyone going back to school at an older age. I just wanna say I just wanna sit on a beach on the French Riviera and sip cocktails. 😊

You are incredible. I’m starting my journey at 43 and seeing you walk the path is truly inspiring. #ItsNeverTooLate

Have met a few docs that started later and you know what they always turned out to be the best. Please continue, seniors minorities and veterans need azad nd want your expertise and experience

Man, good for you! I'm an origional Arkansan myself. I didn't relaize NY Institute of Tech had a medical school there. I'm actually about to go back at 43 for my RN and then DNP.Thanks for the encouragement and keep it up.

So inspired by your journey! I completed a 1200 hour internship and became a Registered Dietitian at age 49 - twenty years after graduating college. It’s never too late.

I've had so many doubts about going back to school at 36 for civil engineering. I'm so happy to see you in medical school at 51. You're such an inspiration. Thank you. 😊

Wow! Congratulations! We need more doctors that look like you. I’m 25 and back in community college to pursue nursing. As a CNA, I am looking at other medical careers because I don’t know if I want to be a nurse.

I’m 34 but I worked in a university hospital for about 5 years. And at the time I was like 26-30 years old and some of the residents were about my age. And I realized that if I had started at 18-20 I could have been in medical school too! I realized how fast time goes! And looking at things from my 18/20 year old self, 30 felt so far away but it goes by so quickly! Now, I don’t want to go to medical school 😂😂 but I just came to that realization that if we just complain about and think “oh that’s so far away” then we’ll never accomplish anything lol. I’m actually going back to school for nursing and something I heard another nurse say was “in 4 years you could be 38 and not a nurse or in 4 years you could be 38 and a nurse”. And I think that line can apply to anything. Best of luck on your journeys to becoming MDs 👍👍

You inspire me so much I’m starting my medical school journey at 33 after just having my baby. I’m so grateful to my husband and my village of people for helping me make this journey happen and I’m so proud of myself for never giving up on my dream ❤

37 and about to finish my MBA program. I appreciate your message, its never too late!

40 years old here and just graduated from Pharmacy School. NEVER TOO LATE TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS🎉

Never too late! You are an inspiration to us all.

Keep going! You can do anything you put your mind to do. You are an inspiration!

I'm 53 and on almost got my Bs bio major. I'm planning to join MS. Your journey has raised my hope.

I’m trying to study nursing but sometimes I think I would rather be a doctor. I’m 43 years old and sometimes I wonder what I could do as a doctor starting so late. So it’s good to find your channel.

Good for you and congratulations! Should become a trend that older, more experienced individuals enter medical school. Should make for better doctors.

I love this! You and everyone who continues to pursue their goals, especially in medicine are phenomenal! 👏🏽
