Welcome — and thank you for subscribing to Fast Track to MD.
You’re here because you’re thinking seriously about medicine, or you’re helping someone who is. Either way, you’re already ahead of the curve.
Fast Track to MD was created by a group of physicians who took early, accelerated, or unconventional paths into medical training. We built this platform to answer the questions we wish had been answered for us—clearly, honestly, and without gatekeeping.
This newsletter will focus on:
Accelerated and direct-entry medical pathways (BA/MD, BS/MD, early assurance)
Strategic planning from middle school through medical school
MCAT-required vs. MCAT-optional routes, and when each makes sense
Timeline clarity: what actually matters, and when
Lessons learned from navigating competitive systems efficiently
You won’t find generic pre-med advice here. The goal is structure, foresight, and decision-making, so you can plan earlier, avoid missteps, and move forward with confidence.
What to expect:
Periodic emails when new blog posts go live
Practical frameworks you can apply immediately
Clear explanations without hype or fear-based messaging
This project is intentionally focused on substance over self-promotion. The emphasis is on information, strategy, and perspective, not personalities.
We’re glad you’re here.
