Mom of 3 and High School Graduate considering medical school

Postby Guest » Wed Dec 15, 2010 12:44 am

I am a wife and a mom of 3. I married and had a family right after highschool. I graduated in 01. I was never able to go to college but I always wanted to become a doctor. I really want to start taking a few classes but I don't know where to start. Could you give me some direction at what I should do first to start my journey?

You have a few choices, but ultiamtely you will need a college degree and have taken the required pre-med courses. I would suggest you contact some local colleges and see if they offer part time enrollment, if you aren't planning on going back to school full time initially. See if the colleges offer classes that fit in with your schedule. You would want to talk to the colleges pre-med advisor and decide if you wanted to start out right away with the required pre-med courses or if maybe it would be better to get back into the feel for school by taking some easier courses that would ultimately count towards your college degree.
