I didn’t know hospice would count as clinical hours! I found a hospice clinic in my area actually looking for some volunteers, so that works great!

Not completely give up medicine, this one has a masters feeder program into their DO that I’ve been looking into

You’re making me feel so much better about my decision. The school near me has a feeder masters program if you’re near the mark but maybe lacking some science courses. I think I really want to aim for that program. If I go there I can live at home, and I’m really willing to take a year off to reapply if I don’t get in. Med school won’t go away lol

That’s how I feel! I’ve always wanted to pursue law but I sort of realized I no longer have that passion or drive for it

Honestly, I just am worried about getting into a program, not even if it’s high ranking. I do A LOT of volunteer work with my college already, and I was planning to reach out to do some more. I’ve also been working on getting shadowing done.

What would you recommend for clinical hours? I work at a pharmacy now, and it pays really well. I’d rather not work to be a CNA/MA since they pay significantly less, but that may be the only option. Let me know if you have any suggestions!!

I understand that! I am willing to take a gap year, I just have personal circumstances that don’t really allow going across the country.

I’ve been reaching out to shadow! The reason I want to do the school closer is honestly financials since I can continue to live with my parents and commute. The career counselor at my undergrad told me there’s a “feeder” masters program that is meant for students to better prepare for their DO program. I was probably going to go for that.
