There are a number, Mr. Traylor, a mentor of mine, never ceases to amaze me and other nurses who are pre-meds as well with his knowledge, perseverance, and life experience!! Thank you for having Mr. Traylor on your channel, awesome you are a dermatology resident btw, this is such an inspirational and informational vid! I enjoy hearing about Eboni's incredibly studious career in academia too. "Live a life w/o regret." Facts.

I know I’m late to the conversation but I paused at the 6:58 mark to type this is. He made a comment that I myself have said and when he said it, it resonated within my soul. You only have one life to live and you don’t want to have any regrets. I am 41, not married, and don’t have any children. I went into undergrad as a nursing/pre-med and I took all the pre-reqs but didn’t pursue medicine b/c as it was, I didn’t have the best GPA and even though I passed all my science classes, it wasn’t competitive with my peers, at all! I thought I wasn’t going to get it and I had the idea that I would be married and have kids and medicine would interfere in that. I was young and I was doing what was best for me at that time in my life. It is what I did or should I say what I did not do is what hurts me. I am now a nurse practitioner but that it had its hurdles and even after all that, I still want to do medicine. Make it make sense?! ☺️ To cut it short, let me at least try so that I can be at peace with myself and not look back with regrets.

Thank you for posting this man’s amazing and inspirational story! I’m attempting to change careers to the medical field but I’ve been out of school for a decade. I’m 36 and have been stressing myself out trying to knock out pre req courses while working full time and trying to get into a post-bac ASAP because of my age. I’m looking at another 3 or more years just to apply with my full time schedule and raising my young children. But his story is so inspirational and I’m so glad I found your channel. It’s encouraging to know that my age won’t keep me out of medical school.

My ultimate goal is med school but since I’m basically starting over with undergrad and will be 34/35 until i can even begin to apply…i thought that ship had sailed. But this gives me hope that it’s not too late and it’s not going to be too late once i actually reach that point!

While it may be a long road, if this is what you’re meant to do it’s definitely worth it! Life’s too short to live with regret. The debt is there, but there are multiple different ways to decrease it. Rooting for you on your journey if you do decide to commit to medicine. 😊

When I started on this path, I promised my wife that I was not going to take any loans for medical school. Believe me when I say that there is untapped money out there that you can use to cover your medical school expenses. Focus on finishing off your pre-med work, kill your MCAT and the money that you need will be there. IF you have to take student loans, there are many ways to get a portion (potentially a significant portion) forgiven. Just focus on getting into medical school now.

Each season of life brings forth new and interesting things. I guess that's the beauty of evolution. Anyhoot, Nutrition & Dietetics and Natropathic Medicine are most definitely in my future.

I am 28 and did Chemical Engineering and my biggest worry about applying for medicine is funding especially accommodation since I'll have to leave home and it's expensive. I'm not really sure what route to take but I'm not happy with being an engineer anymore.

@TheRealSkinImInMD 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! Sorry to hear that you're unhappy as an engineer. Becoming a physician takes serious thought because it is years of commitment. Also, most med students don't work because of the time commitment to med school. However, depending on where you live and what med school you get into, you may not need to leave home. There are also scholarship opportunities as well. I suggest doing a lot more research about becoming a physician, to help you on your path. If you haven't already, check out the AAMC website to get started.

I was fortunate enough to find a full-ride scholarship that even gives me a modest monthly living stipend. There is a lot of untapped money available for medical school. Don't overly worry about the expense of it; once you get an acceptance, you'll have access to the money that you need.

Non traditional means it’s outside of the ‘traditional’ route of getting into Med school which used to be going straight from undergrad to Med school with a pre Med science related degree. However it’s becoming more common to be “non traditional “ with either being a career changer, taking gap years, having a non science major, etc.

I felt a calling towards medicine (and want to become a PCP in the rural area) and started going back to university to complete some prerequisites. I am inspired by this gentleman’s story.
