Sheena815 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I'm wondering when we will get more info from Western, such as the required medical tests, etc. Obviously after the 29th deadline, but are they going to send us more info after that? I know its not that important, I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennethToronto Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm wondering the same. It would be nice to have confirmation my payment/paperwork were received and things are in order. Not to mention CPR stuff etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostintime Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 How do you guys know which CPR class to sign up for? Like which level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallinar Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 i looked at the OMSAS instuction booklet it says you need : .... and repeated that to the CPR training place and they gave me the right course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapers Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Probably going to be CPR Level C (Healthcare Provider) plus Standard First Aid and maybe Emergency First Aid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena815 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 well, I did hear something today. Got a request for some further info about my parent's finances from the people handling the Schulich scholarships. (Hopefully this is good and means I have a chance!) As for other stuff, still nothing. I'd like to know what exactly we need in terms of titers and tb/ specific cpr courses/ physical? I just remembered that I should probably get going on the police check too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joddypoo Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I emailed them to confirm that they received my response document and deposit (cause I was beginning to worry). They replied and said they'd be sending out more information in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena815 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 lol, "in the near future" is about as vague and nonspecific as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostintime Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Did anyone get a call from registrar's asking if they've applied to Western before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I keep eagerly checking my mail every day to see if Western has sent anything... but they haven't. My family is starting to make fun of me. Anyone know any good diversions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheena815 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Well, the fact that its the weekend now and there's no more mail til Monday is a good distraction for me. No mail checking necessary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jectin Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Go out and enjoy the summer guys! The info will come soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I love how the UWO forum right now can basically be divided into two groups: 1) angsty waitlisters stressing and/or complaining about the waitlist and 2) current UWO students telling everybody to relax. It's really easy for current UWO students to say that everything will turn out fine, because for us it has. And I know from experience that it can be frustrating not knowing what the future holds. But seriously, hang in there. A lot of people will get in off the waitlist. And for those who don't -- it's not the end of the world. It might feel like it, but it's not. If you're determined enough, you'll get in somewhere. If not this year, then the next. And when you get in there will come a point, likely at 3AM part-way through your clerkship year as you're watching a tidal-wave of fecal material gush out of somebody's ostomy contaminate the operative field, that you'll look back fondly on your pre-med years. So enjoy them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena815 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Actually, I started this thread wondering when we will get more info (for those who were accepted) cause I want to get going on the cpr/ first aid/ medical tests and everything, since I'm not sure exactly which things to get. And I'm a bit anxious about the still-pending (I think) schulich scholarships. Ploughboy, you're a current student right? When did that info arrive for you?

lostintime Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Yeah me too...I was gonna sign up for level C CPR this weekend, but my mom was warning me how she's not gonna pay for it if it turns out to be wrong. And I figure, probably better not to take the chance until I hear back from Western. Besides, I kinda want a buddy to take it with....those classes are so dead dry/boring.

And I'm a bit anxious about the still-pending (I think) schulich scholarships. Ploughboy, you're a current student right? When did that info arrive for you? I was offered admission in early July, off of the waitlist. Because of that, all of my info arrived at once. Truth be told, I drove to London and picked it up personally from Darla. I was a little bit excited. UWO will send you a bunch of info sooner or later. They'll want proof of immunizations for a bunch of bugs (standard things you should have gotten in public school -- find your little yellow card!), standard first aid and CPR-C, and a cheque for $1000 (if you haven't already paid your deposit). Dr. Flanagan will also likely send you a letter telling you to buy a biochemistry textbook. You can safely ignore that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Err...and a two-step Mantoux test, which you probably haven't had done before, and a certificate of good health. If you tell the doc that you're doing it for medical school, (s)he might not charge you for those tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYu Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 If anyone is still furiously checking the mailbox and is concerned about the amount of exposure to the summer sun you're getting during these trips to the mailbox, let me tell you that last year all the documents came by e-mail, so you just have to furiously refresh your inbox in the safety of your home Don't worry guys, the paperwork doesn't need to be in until mid- or late-August, so go enjoy the weather!

Sheena815 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Dr. Flanagan will also likely send you a letter telling you to buy a biochemistry textbook. You can safely ignore that. Ooh, I had Flanagan for a biochem course once and really liked him. I kinda wish I'd kept my big biochemistry textbook now... oh well, maybe I'll buy it back from the guy I sold it to. Otherwise, might just ignore it if its not that necessary. I'm kinda hoping all the immunization tests I did last year for volunteering will be sufficient, but probably there will be one or two extra things they didn't test for and I'll have to do it over again. I'm also kinda hoping the chest x-ray I got will be okay for the TB thing, but something tells me I'm gonna have to get the mantoux (*shudders*). Yeah, I know its not that bad, but I have the world's most sensitive skin, react to everything under the sun, and will most certainly scratch/ pick at it to death if it itches me.

Painter Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Immunization info... it seems that if you had a two step test within the last twelve months you could get away with only one step this year, but it doesn't say anything about X-rays within the last twelve months... http://www.schulich.uwo.ca/education/UME/documents/general/COFMImmunPolicyMay2008.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostintime Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Sooo...has anyone actually gone to get a police check or immunization tests? Or done the CPR course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallinar Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 i've done the check and am registered for the course (taking in on the 27th)... i still haven't heard anything from uwo tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostintime Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hmm, I'm just worried about wasting my money getting the wrong check or course (although there should be a 5% chance of it actually being wrong...but I'm so broke ahaha). I hope we hear from them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
