Introduction

Life sometimes surprises you.  I never thought in my life that at age 35 I'd be returning to school.  The purpose of this blog is to describe my transition from a dentist to physician, specifically a DO physician.  

So let's start at the beginning.  I'm a 35 year old dentist of 10 years.  I graduated with an honors degree in physiology from the University of Western Ontario in 1994, and completed my DDS degree in 2002 from Marquette University School of Dentistry.  About a year and a half ago, I became educated about DO as a profession and decided to apply to medical school.  

Next...more about my experiences leading to career change, the mcat, interviews and Canadian friendly DO schools
