Any non-traditional ("older") medical students on here? What age did you start?

I wasn't one, but knew a few. Worked with one last week, 5 kids and around 40. Now a 4th year

Appreciate all the responses. Everyone thinks I’m crazy for starting at my age.

Hopefully you shadowed the heck out of surgeons and got some honest answers.

This. 100%.
