Before I learn if I need to quit my day job or not, I thought I'd let you guys know what I do... Right now, I teach Anatomy and Physiology at a local community college. In the past I have been a medical researcher in the neuroscience field. I have also had a short stint working for a pharma company. I'm only teaching as an adjunct and don't have much chance of ever getting tenure. The school I teach for doesn't offer tenure. I have thought about doing teaching full time instead of medicine, and if I don't get in then I might... To teach at a school that offers tenure I would have to probably get a PhD. Alternatively, I could join the ranks those holding cushy high school teaching jobs. (*note sarcasm*)
I do feel that my previous jobs have prepared me well for a career in medicine.
Do you know when to expect an answer? On the up side, you should be way ahead the average student when you get to Anatomy and Physiology!
