NO: It's never too late, but it's a lot of training and a big time commitment. I've had colleagues that were in their 30s and 40s go back to school and become doctors. Not easy but can be done. Good luck!

Doctor: No, if you think you're committed enough and you are an above average intelligent student you could do it. I know people who has changed their profession to become doctors.

Not at all: I had one person on their mid 40s and several in their late 30s in my medical school class. Go for it!

Never too late: It's never too late to pursue a career in medicine. Do what makes you happy and you don't want to look back years from now and always wonder what it would have been like.
