Summary: In the 6th installment of The Medical School HQ Podcast I had a great conversation with Russell. He is a non-traditional student, 35-years-old and a schoolteacher with a wife and 3 children. He decided to pursue a career in medicine late in life and is now accepted to Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine! We discussed the path to music that Russell originally took in life and some of the struggles he had when looking for information and connections in the medical field. Russell shared his experience building a DIY Post-bac program without really knowing what a Post-bac program is. We also talk a lot about Russells experience during the interview process at both D.O. and M.D. schools and he shares why he thinks D.O. schools are more open to the non-traditional student.
