Material to review and get ahead for medic school?

Hi all,

I was just wondering if there were good resources out there for me to review in this next year coming up to medic school.

I was planning to review A&P (I have two semesters of it at a college level where I got As in both, but a few years have passed since completion) and needed guidance on what was important in that regard to have down to a T before trying to get a head start on things I’ll encounter in medic school such as ECGs and pharmacology.

Also open to any other pre-P school advice.

TIA!

Can I survive medic school with 1 year of IFT experience consisting of limited higher acuity experience?

Hi all,

I was planning to try my hand at going to medic school in a year from now (July 2027) and was wondering if it would be feasible if I only had IFT experience (it would be almost a year and a half going into it) with limited higher acuity experience.

The most acute experiences I've had were Code 3 CCTs (really I'm just driving) and BLS downgrades from our local city fire department (3am toe pain and fire just wants us to give them a ride and a ringdown).

Other than that, most of my experience would be ER to home or home/SNF/etc to ER (I try to do as much of my BLS assessment/questions/history-taking and other EMT skills as possible plus I technically have experience doing pre-hospital notifications but those calls are not urgent at all).

So, with that being said, could I make it happen? If so, what are some steps I could take in the next year to give myself the best odds? (I already have two college semesters of A&P where I passed with As but they were a few years ago now). Also happy to answer any questions that might help you guys give me advice.

TIA!
