I graduated from Pharmacy school in 84 and looked into the possibility of med school. When they told me that none of the courses I took in Pharmacy school could be applied to medical school I told them to go pound sand.

Pharmacy.

Med tech is in the gray area between a health care assistant and an LPN.

PA–physician assistant is a different kettle of fish.

I’m assuming your mean as wanting to go to medical school to be a physician. In that case then pharmacy would be the better choice as everything you learned would be directly applied to the practice of medicine. You wouldn’t receive enough core science classes in Med tech to help you in getting into med school.

Many pharmacy students go on to med school.
