HannaLee Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I was wondering where it was!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannaLee Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Why is it named differently from previous years? Other years have been for example "U of T Meds: 1T1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuroman Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 ahhh! I can access it with the link, but not when I search in fb... thanks for getting this started, and looking forward to meeting all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I know, f***, applaud him for actually creating a group in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannaLee Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 wow...calm yourselves... I was just making the point that there are many non-premed101 classmates that would probably want to join as well...and they would most likely use a facebook search. And as previously mentioned, this group doesn't come up. Looking forward to meeting you...probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradStudent_710 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 No worries, I agree with you HannaLee! I was a bit too eager as well and only found the 1T1 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcater2006 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I agree with HannaLee. The name of the group should have something like "1T2" inside. It is not UT's culture to use "Class of 20xx" names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMD Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 i dont think you can change it now. u would have to delete the group, create a new one, and everyone would need to be added to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMD Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 ..but it would be easier now than ever (before it hits 224!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcater2006 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 And while we are at it. We should do something about the Hippocratus figure, do any of you think (as I do) that it is a bit sexist to have only a male physician (with one bare nipple) as the icon of an entire medical class where the female students could potentially outnumber the male students? (I looked at the 1T0 and 1T1 facebook groups and none of them had a person as their group portrait). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcater2006 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I must say that I fully understand and agree with the significance and rationale of putting Hippocratus there, it's just that I think we should also include the portrait of a famous female physician (like the first one that obtained an MD in North America but was forced to practice in Paris, France, can't remember what her name is though).

What's next? Wanting to take a female physician's oath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you'd want a female doctor represented as well, but the point of the Hippocrates figure was not to make a statement about the diversity of our class, but rather what we have in common -- namely, a passion for medicine. This is what Hippocrates is meant to represent. Secondly, that particular statue is the one that is displayed in the Medical Sciences Building here at U of T. My intention was that he would also represent the University of Toronto, the place where we have all chosen to do our medical training. And incidentally, I take the nipple to be sort of a joke.

So honoured to have you, the admin, reply to my rantings. Yeah, the reference to the nipple was a joke. That's the way ancient Greeks dress. Now that I know more about the significance of the statue and its relationship to U of T, I stand by your decision to have it as the group portrait. I'm sure that if other students or the female students in our class see the portrait as a sexist, then they will voice their concern in the future, by which time the picture could be changed to something else.

Tornado Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 hey guys can someone explain the whole 1T0 1T1 thing to me?? i.e. where does it come from and how did toronto decide to go ahead and use this? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcater2006 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 if you want to make changes to the group, i can make you an Admin if you want Wow! Could you do that for me? It would be great since I failed my admin bid on Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 sure, why not? i don't think it's a big deal, anybody can be an admin if they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuroman Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 it made more sense when the graduating classes were the 90's (and earlier)... 9T9 or 'ninety nine' for example...so its a bit outdated, but classes have continued to be named in this manner...

HannaLee Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Alright...not to stir things up or anything, but I ended up creating another facebook group. If anyone wants to take over as admin, let me know. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17831306652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcater2006 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hmmmm...I thought the 'T' in '1T2' stood for "Toronto" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcater2006 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 OK, I found out who the first female MD in North America is: http://womenshistory.about.com/od/blackwellelizabeth/a/eliz_blackwell.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Blackwell For future references.
