Fall Updates
Journey to Medical School
Many of my wonderful clients have been following my journey to medical school over the last two years, and I wanted to share a brief update with you. I am still moving forward with my goal of becoming a physician, but I am taking a strategic step to strengthen my application for the next admissions cycle. Since beginning this journey, I have completed my bachelor's degree, finished all of my post-baccalaureate prerequisite coursework, expanded my volunteer work at the local hospital, and been accepted into multiple master's programs.
This January, I will begin an intensive 11-month Master of Science in Medical Science program. My hope is that strong performance in this rigorous program will help pave the way for a successful transition into osteopathic medical school.
As exciting as this next chapter is, it will temporarily limit the number of clinic hours I can offer. Beginning in January, my availability will be reduced to Mondays and Saturdays only and will remain that way through next winter.
To help reduce expenses during this time, I will also be making a few administrative changes:
- Please text me directly to schedule appointments, as I will no longer be using the online scheduling platform.
- I will no longer be accepting credit card payments.
- Payment may be made by cash, check, Venmo, or Apple Pay.
My plan is to resume normal clinic hours at the beginning of 2028.
I am deeply grateful for your support throughout this journey. While my availability will be more limited over the next year, I remain committed to providing the same level of care and attention to each of you. If you'd like to schedule an appointment during this time, I encourage you to reach out early.
Thank you for being part of my journey. I look forward to continuing to serve you when I can, and I hope to see many of you again in 2028 and beyond.
In addition to my updates, Joan Weaver will no longer be practicing in the same office. She has an opportunity to practice near her home, providing a more convenient place to further build her practice. If you have seen her before, please reach out to her directly for further scheduling. Her number is 253-754-5352 or email at wonderfullymadeimc@gmail.com
