USIMGrad I was wondering if you can comment on the education you received at Fatima. And also how did you feel about yourself when compared with residents from other programs in your residency. Thanks

If it's just one class covering both anatomy and physiology at a community college, I don't think it will be in-depth enough to help you much in medical school though.

When people can't make a case for themselves they start to pick on their others' names? :o I, on the other hand, love to argue with people who fantacize about how easy it would have been for them to pass USMLE while they had to settle working for some company. And I especially love to debunk...

Hey, where can we get chicken pox booster shots in KC? preferably free?

You can transfer to an MD school from a DO school? That is unheard of.

Do we get Spring Break? When is it?

When do we go back to class?
