I would be graduating from med school at 26. I just recently started worrying if it is a late age to gain enough experience and further specialisation. Note that I intend to live as a single all my life. Medics in the house, what is your advise.

Its not too late...This is a professional course, age won't really matter.... Besides the earliest age at which someone can be done with MeD school is about 21-22years ....4-5years later than this doesn't stop you from getting the experience and specialization you need

so What's ur point? if your roommate graduated at the age of 33 ,does that automatically signify that its not late? Its just like someone asking if its too early to die at age 40 and another saying it's not early cus hz uncle died at the age of 32 ...pls talk based on productive and positive reasons not based on relativity.

Attention seeker!!!




Reality go soon hit you when get out of that med primary school. And start looking for 100k jobs up and down in private hospitals. Don't think residency space comes easy too son undecided No time is late for any man to achieve his dreams. As long as there is sound health and mind.

What? That age is perfect, I am jealous of you.

I have a first degree and I'm thinking of going to do graduate entry medicine. I will be in my 30s when I qualify
