Truthfully, if LLMs make an MD career unviable, then we are simply fucked. I do think that day will come, but if I need a career for the next 30 years then I believe that MD is a safe choice. Not even for technical reasons. I think there are legal and bureaucratic hurdles that will take decades to adjust.

You'd be in good company as a post-bacc.

Among those from merchant marines and commercial real estate; the son of a psychiatrist, an ankle ruined and a star throw; a cancer survivor with a metal arm; and others. From backgrounds divers but with a single aim.

Hope they are all doing well. They should be out of residency by now.

Just curious, did you take this route yourself? If so, at what age?

It has to have been... 16 years ago. Oof. Time flies.

The post-bacc folks ranged in age from late 20s to early 40s.
