Charlatan Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Will there be a white coat ceremony? If so, when will this take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanayo101 Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Post it on the listserv and maybe you'll get an answer! Just kidding...but the answer is "no" and "never"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAdlCruz Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 There is also a GLBTQ listserv. I'm happy to see that they are endorsed by the Office of Student Affairs. Join the SABB-12 listserv to get details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REL Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Here's my first 2 Qs: what is "SABB" and "GLBTQ listserv" I missed both the information session and wine & cheese during the interview stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer listserv is just an e-mail group where you can ask questions. I'm assuming it's for people who identify or have questions about the GLBTQ community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBCmed09 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 UBC does not have a white coat ceremony. You do get several lectures that make you feel pretty good about yourself during orientation week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlatan Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 UBC does not have a white coat ceremony. You do get several lectures that make you feel pretty good about yourself during orientation week... I guess they have avoided or eliminated the white coat ceremony for good because many see it as unnecessary and self-serving (which I kind of agree) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaug Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Are there orientation events planned on the long weekend?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanayo101 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Your CPR certification class will likely be on the Saturday or Sunday of the long weekend. Plus, you will be really tired from the events of the week before! I strongly encourage new students to post to the SABB-12 listserve (see first post in this thread) so other students not using Premed101 can see the discussions too.

kanayo101 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I've been asked to post this website: http://www.med.ubc.ca/education/md_ugrad/student_affairs/FAQ.htm I suggest you take a look. If you haven't already signed up for the SABB-12 listserv...do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdfsdf Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 but if you've already taken (ie: still valid) cpr/first aid, you dont have to go, do you? how much is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanayo101 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sheeesh...just a few weeks, a few weeks for your registration packages to arrive and all your questions shall be answered!! Just kidding But PLEASE start posting to the SABB-12 board if you are a new student. Exemption for the CPR certification was pretty much limited to CPR-C/AED instructors with a specific level of training. Others still had to go for a re-certification. It's O-week of your first year of medical school....WHY would you even consider missing it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdfsdf Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 well if you're already certified...like, recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't already signed up for the SABB-12 listserv...do that! So I emailed Victoria Lambert twice at victoria.lambert@ubc.ca to add me to SABB-12 and haven't heard from her. Is there an initiation process to join?!? You know...like in gangs you have to beat up old women and steal their purses only then will you get to join the gang and get all the benefits Ok seriously though, am I missing something? i have lots of questions to ask and things to discuss but am waiting to join. Just went out to UBC to check out some apartments around there, but didn't have much luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan0105 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I think you have to kill the ring leader so that the other members will respect your authority and do as you say. Glad to see there are at least some people who have a good sense of humour, applying to med school usually kills that quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr nomis Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 well if you're already certified...like, recently... For the year I started, according to the orientation package, the company that provided CPR courses 'granted exemption' for students who had taken CPR-C with AED within the past year. They asked for you to submit proof of certification dated within the past year. Don't tell anyone, though, but despite what it says in the orientation package, it doesn't actually say in the official UBC MD Undergraduate Policies and Procedures (available on MEDICOL once you get your login) that you have to get your CPR certification. So, if money or time is super tight, unless this has been changed in the Policies nothing will happen to you if you don't get the certification. A number of people in my class did not bother to get it at the start of 2nd year. (Why the discrepancy, you might ask? Well, in past years, the statement that the 'annual re-certification is mandatory' was a marketing statement written by the only company that advertises in the orientation package.) But you didn't hear that from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you gotta flunk TWO courses after remediation to have to repeat the year.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Wong Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I still check this site! (but I don't think you were referring to me...) I was briefly in Vancouver yesterday and drove past VGH. Things have changed a lot over the past few years... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
