Dr. Shelton,
Because of my autoimmune disorder, I have been using both Eastern and Western medicine for treatments since I was very young. While I want to pursue an MD, I have been planning on doing a masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine after college graduation before applying to med school. My hope is to combine both of these practices in the future because I see so many side effects that could be eliminated using Chinese medicine etc. My question is: do you think this will this affect my chances of admission to MD programs? And when would you suggest that I take my MCATs?
Thank you.
