Dyslexic Business Degree2.6 GPA looking 4 post bac opp

Because of this my grades were always a struggle. Even though I am intelligent and have a high IQ I couldn't necessarily show that to my teachers, which led to a frustration in school, pushing me away from trying to be Pre Med. I studied Finance and Management in college and did not focus on my grades (GPA 2.7) because my studies did not interest me. I have been out of school for three years I am 25 and I want to be a Doctor. I 100% did not focus on grades because I was frustrated and more importantly, I was Immature. All though my GPA is low, it does show an upward trajectory as I matured and as I figured out what learning styles best suited me.I know with out a doubt I have what it takes to be a good doctor and I know that I do have what it takes to succeed in Medical School, I just need to find a Post Baccalaureate program and Medical School willing to give me a shot.Is there anyone on here who has been in a similar situation who could offer guidance on how to get an opportunity? I believe that if I was able to get an interview I could sell myself enough to get a Post Bacc program to give me a shot and then I will focus 100% on getting the grades and scores I need for the next step In addition to working in business I am also a licensed personal trainer and I currently Volunteer in an ICU here in Baltimore MD.
