Med School in my 40’s (Part 2) - Dr. Carl Allamby

We’re back with part 2. Former car mechanic, Dr. Carl Allamby definitely didn’t let anything stop him from achieving the dream he had suppressed since childhood. On part 2, he lets us know that although he had major challenges being the oldest in his med school class, the ONLY black male, and one of few who had changed careers, he still found the positive in it all and used family as motivation for success. This lets you know that it is not too late to pursue your dreams.

I am thinking about going to med school and I'm in my 40s. This literally made me tear up. 🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@blackmeninwhitecoats2077]

Stay tuned. We’ve got a similar story coming up. 😉

I have to agree. Deeply appreciate this interview with Dr. Allamby! At 41, I start M1 in September. Glory Be To God 🙏🏾 Excited to get to know others in the second phase of their careers and moving to medicine.

It is exciting, be ready to get kick in the nuts, but its an amazing feeling learning about the human body with peers with the same goal. Kill it!!!!

Hi Anthony, what school are you attending ?

[@adjewett]

@@wale4862 I'll be attending the IUHS School of Medicine. It's an awesome opportunity for career-changers and those of us who are working to pursue our passions for medicine and service.

[@RR-zl5kg]

This resonates so much, as a 39 yrs old in my first year - thank you so much for the inspiration.

Hi Ranger Remi, what school are you attending ?

[@anniedeborahchinungo4434]

i m going on 39 and i have decided to pursue what i have always wanted to do. It wont be easy but it is possible. I don't want to spend my life regretting why i didn't take that route

I am not a doctor but I did graduate with my BSN at age 51 and now have been an RN for 6 months. I do plan on returning to school to become an NP. I am looking at psychiatric NP. I do have interest in APRN and the role of a hospitalist as well because I love inpatient environments.

[@majob2363]

😢I’m scared so scared to go back, I’m 44 LMT looking to get into the RN field. Thanks for sharing you inspire me🤗

I love this! At 32 years old I am starting my pre med classes this semester.

[@inigojuancarlos]

Dude, I’m in my 40s already and almost I. My final year of my premed. I came from corporate finance for years and already at mid-level position but realized medicine is my calling when covid hits that’s really what pushed me towards medicine. Best decisions ever so far and I’m having a blast.

[@blackmeninwhitecoats2077]

Love this. Keep pushing through!

[@jonathancoleman6482]

This makes me smile

[@StudentDoctorAntonioPatterson]

Oh, wow! How did I miss part 2? Thanks for doing what you do. Keep up the good work!

[@blackmeninwhitecoats2077]

🙏🏾 we’ll have to do a part 2 with you in a few years too!

Very inspiring! I teach students at a JobCorps program in NY and I will be sharing your story with them! So inspirational!

Loved every minute of this! I'm almost 48 and applying to sonography school soon. As a black woman, I'll also have a white coat when done : )

[@manueljomaoficial]

I love this! Every instance of this discussion, made me so proud to hear his speak with pride, humility and with life experience. I am also on my journey to start pre-med school, should take me about the same time as Dr. Allamby to become an MD. 😊

Big ups to you man I use to want to be a doctor when I was a kid

[@sulawhattt]

Would have been nice to know his exact age when getting into medical school. Also what bit of advice would he have given his 40 year old self. This was the point of the video

[@blackmeninwhitecoats2077]

There is a part 1 that explains more. It’s titled “car mechanic to medical doctor at age 47”. So he started around 43.

[@sirrom5155]

today in segregation....

[@studentforlife714]

I will share this, I had to drop out of microbiology lab because I was odd man out and no one would partner with me. It hurt my feelings a little but I guess it was their loss because what they didn’t know is how smart I was lol
