I am just now finishing up my fourth quarter at Western States Chiropractic School, and I'm pulling out. I have finally decided after roughly $50,000 of tuition that I have no desire to be a chiropractor. My investment in this education has not been a total waste, though. I have developed the desire to go further into medicine, under a healthcare ideology that I have found is in near perfect alignment with my own: to become a doctor of osteopathic medicine.
In future posts, which may take forever to occur, I'll explain further my choices and my views on healthcare.
So after finals next week, I'll be in a quiet place with my Examcrackers study books and practice exams, working for the highest score I can get on everyone's favorite test, the MCAT. I'll be shadowing docs, getting volunteer hours, and further developing my passion for medicine. I plan on being in Portland (Oregon!) for at least another six months, so feel free to come grab a pint with me sometime!
Oh, by the way, my witty blog title is a blatant ripoff of my good friend Nate's popular blog, Chiropractique. Sorry Nate!
