I am seriously considering going to medical school. One thing I am very fascinated by is the advancement in the science of aging. I know there are many things that have been proven to extend lifespan in mice and other animals. However, nothing has been "proven" in humans.
Despite that, we do have many drugs, treatments and supplements which can theoretically slow aging. We also have many tests and relative "biomarkers" of aging for those interested in their progress.
So I would like opinions. Is it feasible to exclusively practice anti-aging medicine 5+ years from now? I know that many still see this field as "quackery," and that does not bother me because I know that aging is a legitimate science. However, are there enough clinical interventions currently available (or available in 5+ years) to build an entire career? How realistic is this?
Thank you for your input.
