DPT or MD....that is the question?

Well, the only thing constant is change. I seem to figure that out more and more everyday. Jon was on track to graduate this year with his Athletic Therapy degree and was going to apply to DPT school (doctoral of physical therapy) to begin in Summer of 2010. Well, things have changed. After much thought, prayer, discussion and research Jon decided he would just go to medical school instead. School has not been an easy road for Jon, but he just continues to find himself more and more. He has so many talents and is so smart (which I give a lot of credit to his father who received his masters in petroleum engineering from Stanford on scholarship!). He plans on being a doctor and working in the Physical Therapy field, or at least in orthapedics or sports medicine. With having his medical degree it will give him a lot more flexibility with treating his patients and also will give him a lot more options. I love my husband so much and I am just thankful that he is not letting anything get in his way. He knows what he wants and is going to get it, even if it takes a few extra years (ha ha). Who knows how long we will be in school, but hey I am along with him every step of the way. Jon's undergraduate major will stay the same but with the additional classes he has to take in Chemistry and Genetics he will end up having a minor in chem when all is said and done. The plan for now is to graduate May 2010, take the MCAT end of May and apply for med school that next month to begin med school in the Fall of 2011. Wow...it is going to be a journey.

  1. Does that mean you are still going to move out of state?
