Dante Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hey everyone, Later this month, the 2011 and 2012 meds classes are putting on a three part lecture series on the topic of medical school interviews. It is run by our two classes and is done as a fundraiser for our annual school musical, Tachycardia. I'm just spreading the word about it, so please check out the facebook page for more details: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=35167711244 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hmm... the anti-premed in me says to stay away, but the social butterfly in me says to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I've spoken to a few premeds who were at the event last year, and said they found it to be informative and helpful. And if that doesn't sell it to you, as a bonus, I'll be there speaking one of the nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 And if that doesn't sell it to you, as a bonus, I'll be there speaking one of the nights Well now I'm sold. EDIT: P.S. - Isn't having it in the middle of the week a bit odd? P.P.S. - You have a "Pre-med office" at Western? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery_chick Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The Pre-Med Society has an office, yes we do And it's not odd to have it during the middle of the week. Friday is bad because people are going home and Monday is bad because people who don't have class until Tuesday (although rare) aren't back from home yet.

emart Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Will it be new/updated presentations? I attended the lectures last year and found them to be great; I'm just trying to figure out if there is any use in going again this year, or if it is just more of the same.

I attended the lectures last year and found them to be great; I'm just trying to figure out if there is any use in going again this year, or if it is just more of the same. I know that at least one if not more of us 2012s have been conscripted to give presentations on their interview experiences across different medical schools, so at the very least this year's will offer different perspectives. Dante may be able to give further details on any other notable differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm probably going to attend, I need to get a refresher on healthcare and medical ethics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 No idea what's new/different. Wasn't there last year, and don't have much to do with it this year... aside from promoting it on these forums... and possibly baking cookies for everyone attending. If you want to know, i'd check the facebook page and ask there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours truly will be speaking, along with two other 2012's, and there'll be a panel of us answering questions, too. You'll also want to sample some of my homemade cookies, no doubt.
