Does A Prestigious Premedical School Give You Leeway Into Med School If You Don’t Have The Grades?
I attend a small liberal arts college known for high acceptance rates into medical school however I am not doing exceptionally well, which is what is required for med school. It is extremely expensive and I am paying for my own education. I have the option of transferring to a school with a lot more career oriented options such as physical and occupational therapy and other health professions. From there I would like to pursue a career then apply to med school. Is it really worth it to stay at a school were my gpa is ok and has the potential of getting worse in comparison to somewhere cheaper where I know I can maintain a better one? Should i salvage my gpa while I can?
Does Anyone Know About Radiology?
i’m thinking of applying to the arnot ogden medical center school of radiologic technology, and i’m not sure if radiology is a good field to get into. i’ve thought about physical therapy because i love working with people, only i don’t want to go to school for 6 years.
does anyone know if getting a certificate in this, and an associates in science would be a good path. the hospital asks that you work for them after you complete the program, so it sounds good to me. but i might want to continue my education after this program.
does this sound like a good pre-requisite for furthering my edu??
please help!
Does Anyone Know Of Any Medical Or Financial Programs To Help With A Must Needed Back Surgery?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 11, 2010
I am a 43 year old female, single mother of a 12 year old son.I was diagnosed with FM, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Thyroid Disease, HighBlood Pressure,Mitral Valve Prolapsed, Depression,TMJ, and 2 bulged discs in my back.I have been fighting the discs in my back since 2000. I have been getting Cortisone SI Joint Injections and physical therapy as needed. I have no medical coverage. There is a “Christian Clinic” in a neighboring town that does help where they can with meds. But no further medical care.I had to visit the ER about a week ago because the pain was so severe and I had tremendous numbing in my left leg, back , buttocks, and foot. They gave me 3 shots and sent me home because our larger town 10 miles away, Mountain Home, Arkansas has no Neuro Physicians here. We would have to travel 120 miles North to Springfield, Missouri. But with no insurance and no employment or funding how does a person do that? Does anyone know of any programs that may help me? Sincerely, Gena

What Does It Take To Be A P.E. Teacher?
I was thinking about studying physical education in college and becoming a P.E teacher. Would this be a wise choice for a career or should I study to be a Physical Therapy Assistant instead? Or maybe even exercise science, but idk what careers are obtainable with this degree other than being a personal trainer. Any help would be awesome!
