Hi all,
I am a first year med sci student in my second term of university.
Although what I consider to be the ideal path is to go to med school (as of now, like many others in this program), I also realize that I should still consider fallbacks in order to set myself up for a relatively more stable future (although I haven't been destroyed by school yet, I want to be employed in the future!)
So, for all the upper years and past med sci students,
What fallbacks would one have with a science bachelor's?
It seems to me that most fallbacks involve additional schooling (masters, some other professional program).
I have done a bit of research on this: research or professional masters, pharmacy school, OT school, industry of some sort (still a bit iffy on this, would appreciate any insights on this), but I still want to hear the opinions and considerations of others.
Thank you!
An interesting one I learned about recently is Intellectual property law. It is a big difference from med but it requires a science degree. Just another interesting path to think about!
Oh, I see! That's interesting!
I can attest to this! I am in law school right now after doing med sci. Note that intellectual property law typically favours those with a "hard science" masters and good research experience as well. Speaking strictly to my own experiences, I found the rigor of med sci to have prepared me quite well so far in law school, but I am only a first year so take that with a grain of salt.
That so cool! How’re you liking it so far? Much different than med sci?
