Engineer to PA - Possible? Where do I even start?
Hi everyone, I'm a process engineer who has been working in the medical device industry for 3 years, and I'm looking to make a huge career shift to become a PA.
A Little Background (trying to keep this part short):
Truthfully, this passion to make this big change came from a medical diagnosis that really shook me up. I realized I really dislike my job, and don't want to waste anymore of my life doing something I don't have any passion about. I was never excited about going into...

Not sure.. Post Bacc or SMP
Hi Everyone,
I graduated from undergrad in 2016 with a chemical engineering degree. I have taken all of the required classes but ended up with a cGPA of a 2.9 and a sGPA of a 2.7.
After graduation I have worked on clinical trials and in the medical device industry. To put to rest the dream of medical school I thought I would make one last ditch effort to apply and see what happens.
My current plan is to get my EMT-b and work as an ED tech and do research on clinical trials. I'm deciding...

Horrible GPA, don't know what to do
Hi!
I am currently going into my senior year in the Biomedical Engineering (BME) program at Johns Hopkins. I have two medical device startups and a patent. I have a lot of research experience as well. Med school is my absolute dream. If you told me it would take 50 years to get there, I would try for 50 years because thats how passionate I am about medicine.
However, my GPA is a 2.4. Abysmal. Even my freshman classes which weren't that hard were mostly Cs and Bs. I didn't try my best...

Donate my inventions to the supporters
To who is may concerns,
I am a 15-years working experience interventional radiologist, and now working in a university as a postdoc. I have several inventions about medical devices, using cardiology and interventional radiology. In the past year I try my best to get supporting from the university, the organizations and institutes, and want to find a resource to support the innovative process, but failed as my estimate so far. So I come here to find the ONE.
Here is my statement:
I...

Medical equipment loan recommendations?

Medical Device Reps vs med school?
I have been a long time lurker on this board and have learned quite a bit. I've done a search and have a question for the residents/attendings etc.
Knowing what you know now, if you were a 26 year old non-trad with a choice between med school and medical device sales, which route would you take?
I know med device sales can be pretty lucrative and a very good job opportunity. It gets you in the OR working with physicians with the latest surgical equipment etc. Would you want ~150-200k...

Job Troubles? Need some input.
Hey All,
I just wanted to get the opinion of some of the forum members on my predicament.
I am currently working a job in the medical device industry as a researcher. I can't say anything specific, but my job is far from what I signed up for. I am frequently given tasks that are far outside my job description (to the point of ridiculousness, like running personal errands for the boss). This would not be an issue for me if the environment was not so toxic and unprofessional. I can deal with...
