See title. Would it be wise to retake the prereqs at a CC and take the MCAT once complete? All of my prereqs w/the exception to physics II are 7 - 8 years old. I've always been interested in podiatry after I became a long distance XC runner and read Christopher McDougall's book "Born to Run" but lacked the self-confidence to push for podiatric school. I immaturely decided I wanted to do something in research and be in a lab my whole life but after working as a med lab tech for 5 years now, I definitely don't want to do that. I have a few podiatrists at a clinic down the street from the hospital I work that I can shadow and once I found what I'm passionate about, I'll make the jump to retake classes. My employer offers tuition reimbursement, in addition to the military offering some as well. I'm somebody that needs the structure and environment of being in a classroom. I've already shadowed physicians in other specialities and the only field I really enjoyed was anesthesia.
Thank you for any advice. Looking forward to the responses/differences in opinions.
