Actualy I think OU is the bobcats..... OSU = buckeyes..... :) ;) And congrats! :clap:

We have a program that is similar to that....i havent got all of the details yet. But the basic gist is this: you work for the hospital during the summer while still premed following docs around (mostly in the ER) and assisting with various simple tasks (prolly nurses aid type stuff) during the...

Interesting.... As an EMT, what are you allowed to do? What would the responsabilities be? Who hires EMT-Bs....I think the ambulances in our town mostly have paramedics (which is 2 years right?).... Oh, and do Volunteer fire Dept. usualy want EMT volunteers for the summers? Thanks,

Thanks for the replies! Wow...thats a long road to go.... Surprised about that salary.....that really sucks....we have guys at home making at least that just running a general oral surgery office (MD/phd still....but nothing fancy)....ya know like removing wisdom teeth under general...

Note the difference between being an astonaut and being a mission specialist. If your not flying jets for the military right now youll never be an astonaut. But, NASA sends up at least 2 mission specialists per flight to conduct experiments etc these are just researchers....like phds or MDs or...

Does anyone know what the general means of pursueing a DDS/MD is? Particularly for the purpose of doing facial plastics work. I havent been able to find much on this but it seems to make sense....dentists know way more about the face\facial anatomy than MDs, but MDs are better on the rest of the...

I went to a summer program in Chicago .... and I heard the exact same thing about NEOUCOM from a couple of people...on who had several family members graduate from their..... you have time to study...and thats about it...for all six years....

I was going to apply to a couple ...but i decided that I would be missing something as a result... Now im thinking i really wish that I wouldve applied to the one at ohio state (i know a couple people in it). I think the realy short ones are insane though...6 years to an MD just isnt enough. I...

The best book that I have read about medicine is "The lost art of healing" Brenard Lown MD Great book.......also...hard to find but "MD" by B.H. Kean.....specktacular....

Here is a link to the same program.... http://www.mayo.edu/mms/add_progs.htm Any one else....I cant seem to find much on the net.....With the huge number of oral surgeons there has to be more than one....and facial plastic surgeons are fairly common too....

Does anyone know anything about how one would go about getting a DDS/MD degree?? What is the progression? My dad is a dentist and he told me that back when he was in school you would get your DDS first then go to med school for usualy 2-3 years instead of the full length....then go to residency...

It definately sucks for the non-premed folks.....at least I was expecting it to some degree....but most of them came in clueless..... I'm glad its not just here......its amazing, our bio is called BMZ (botany microbiology and zoology) and if you mention that you are taking it ANYONE (like...

Is the freshman biology at anyone elses school considered a "weed out" class. I thought orgo was usualy considered so, but not bio. Our profs (team taught) even call it a weed out class.....and they make the tests comensurately difficult.....we have to know the tinyest details......makes...

Actualy....that may help to some degree....you can put anything that you are required to "remember" into the calculators memory......to bad my HS physics teacher was never able to figure that one out.....unfortunatly the college chem prof did....so we must use scientific calcs....so primitive....;)
