Q&a With Mcgill Med Ambassadors
RedLily replied to McGillMedAmbassadors's topic in McGill Medical School
We go through "Blocks" (units) which each cover an organ system, except the first one (Block A) which is public health. Molecules/biochem/genetics come up as relevant to each organ system. So, for example Block B is Respiration so the genetics focuses on genetic defects of the lungs, mutations in genes (enzymes, etc. related to this) pertinent to this, etc.. Molecules have a bigger role I'd say in Block E (Gastro) and F (immunology). Endocrine is mostly in Block E (Gastro) when we learn about diabetes, the thyroid (though it does come up briefly in other blocks as well). There is a final exam after each block, which focuses on that organ system. The longer blocks will have a midterm. R&E is then a cumulative exam, it's during "R&E week": The final exam for the most recent block you did, the R&E exam, and the anatomy exam covering the most recent blocks you haven't been tested on are all during the same week. So for example, our first R&E 'week' was in December. We had a final exam for Cardio (Block C), an anatomy exam that covered the anatomy from Blocks B and C (resp and cardio), and R&E exam (covered Blocks A,B and C) during that last week of school. Our second R&E week had the final exam for Block E (gastro), anatomy exam covering Blocks D (renal) and E, and then an R&E exam. This second R&E exam covered topics from all the previous blocks, but with an emphasis on the most recent ones (D and E). Final exams are more detailed, R&E is supposed to be more broad. So, right now we're covering infection (Block G. We just finished immunology, Block F), and next is Block H (movement). So we'll have final exams after Blocks F and G, and then to end first year we'll have a final R&E week during which we will have a final exam for Block H, an anatomy exam and an R&E exam (emphasis on the most recent blocks that have not yet been on an R&E exam). Hope that makes sense -
Where has the last year gone?!?!

GET YO STUFF IN!!!! Before midnight, Nov 1st GOOD LUCK APPLICANTSSSSS -
Great post, and a really great attitude to have It really is all a journey, not just a destination. It took me many cycles to eventually be accepted, and I tried to start seeing each year after a rejection as a year of experiences and opportunities that I was able to have because of that rejection. For example I moved to a different city in the midst of application cycles and got to reconnect with an old friend- I don't know if that would have happened had I been accepted my first cycle So while rejections can feel so discouraging, if you have the means and will to keep trying, go for it and try to enjoy the journey
