UMPI Collecting credits before applying?

Budget: I have a max of $15K saved up.  I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  

Commitments: My family. I'm semi-retired.

Dedicated time to study: 3 hours in the morning, 3 hours at night, 6 days a week.

Timeline: I'm aiming at 12 months max.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: my own pocket...

Med skool is a long road with no shortcuts. I used Doane's program for many of my prerequisites post-bacc. That said, it really is helpful to have certain courses in person, especially especially chemistry, considering a significant portion of med skool "basic" sciences is rooted in biochemistry.

If you're set on Canadian schools, start building your CV if you haven't yet. Canadian schools are statistically harder to get into than US schools due to how few there are. Many Canadian students come to US or Caribbean schools because of that. I've met many Canadians throughout my time at St. G. One of my close friends from school is from Toronto.

I see you're a family man - that is great. Just make sure you prepare them (and yourself) for what this path entails. It's a huge commitment with a huge price tag. Please consider (for their sake and your own) carefully.
There are no shortcuts to becoming a physician.
