A friend of mine who is 25 years old wants to go to medical school. He is really worried about his age , he is going to graduate at age 33 or so and he is troubled about employment at that age.

Your friend is going to train as a medical professional and so, his knowledge and skills would stand him out not really his age.

That's one sweet thing about a doctor.....

Its not about the age but about your intelligence and how u applied yourself during your house job and NYSC, then some hospitals would mention post-NYSC experience shaa.....

Re: Is It Late To Study Medicine At Age 25? by Josephnice:
will advice u from own experience. he believes he's overly matured for it now cus he felt he would be feeling too old by the time he clocked 33. take this from me now, when he clocked 33 and didn't follow his passion(medicine) he would definitely regret not doing so. there's no time too late to pursuing one's passion in life so long it gives the fulfillment you desire in life

There is an advantage of maturity to studying medicine at that age. It was one of the reasons NUC advocated for medical students to spend 11 years in school i.e 4years basic science course and 7years med school.

Though i do not entirely support the suggestion but there was some sense behind it. One Prof. Chiedu Mafiana of the NUC is quoted as saying

"Increasing the study time is essential to ensure medical students are well prepared for the psychological demands of the game, to enable the students mature psychologically for the profession".

So my friend it is not too late to study medicine at 25.

prolonging the number of years of training has no advantage and it is absolutely unnecessary.in fact,it will only produce jaded and more angry doctors. I've never met any middle age person doing too well in medical school infact most of them struggle just to pass just like their young colleague.IMO, they are usually too distracted.

Absolutely no. No age is too much to pursue your goals in life. Life is not a competition.
Re: Is It Late To Study Medicine At Age 25? by nemynely(m): 7:46am On Aug 21, 2017
Not late at all. Remain focused and motivated. Good thing about medicine is how your intellectual prowess and sublime practical skills stand you out. Age is given no consideration even @70.
