Hi. My name is Eric. I am currently attending a university in south georgia, studying exercise science, with major emphasis on cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. My major exposed me to the world of healthcare, and after researching many different professions in the field of healthcare , I have decided that I want to attend an Osteopathic Medical school. My current GPA is 3.5, with a 4.0 in my last two years of study ( since I've gotten more serious about my education), and also I have maintained a 4.0 science GPA. I have been advised by a medical adviser and have outlined the remaining coureses I need to take, as well as made preparations to take care of other related responsilbilties (i.e. shadowing hours, MCAT). I do feel at a disadvantage in my efforts in to attend medcial school, becuase of majoring in a "non-science" field. I understand that this is not a major obstacle to overcome, however, I would like to confer with and model my attemps after a physician(s) that has attended medical school after having acheived a bachelors degree in an exercise or health related field. I would appreciate any reference that anyone may be able to provide to me about where I may find such a mentor. In closing I would like to say that I love health and exercise, and I hope to someday have the opportunity to provide healthcare through a medical education and an Osteopathic scope of practice.
