It's graduation week!

Had a class bonfire on Sunday where we all burned our short white coats...

Hooding ceremony is Thursday, with commencement on Friday.

I have to say, that after so many years of school, it's odd that it comes down to this last week in which there's no stress or concern. I don't miss having finals at the end of the semester but it was definitely weird this year (both semesters) to not go through that stress.

Crashing your thread to share that when my husband was a resident he had his car stolen. Inside the car was... his lab coat. This was only 3 weeks until his residency was over, so they did not replace it. Therefore, he had to wear his hideous short med-student lab coat instead.

BTW- his residency procedure book that had 3 years worth of sign-offs was in the pocket of that lab coat. He was more concerned about losing that than his car. As you all start your residencies, guard that little book with your life!

Congrats and good luck to you all. It is a long road, but an honorable one.

Now most programs use computerized records rather than procedure books. My husband had to transfer 3 years worth onto the computer when he was graduating.

Congratulations to all the graduating doctors! Welcome to the hell on earth that is residency!

Good luck at Ark Children's. That was always a popular program with students at my school...of course, it was close geographically. They have an excellent reputation.

AMCAS and AACOMAS opened this week for 2010..... I'm about half-way done filling them both out.

Does anyone know how you're supposed to cite AP courses under course work? I called my pre-med advisor for an appointment, but he's booked for the next three weeks... I figured I'd ask you guys!

IIRC...and it's been a while, I think there's some sort of "HS/dual credit" option or maybe an "awarded credit"

My best advice for that portion is to get a copy of your official transcript from your university and then enter everything letter for letter from that into AMCAS...That transcript should show something about awarded credit.

agree with Kill. Speaking from a nurses prospective...anything you need, we got you... Now as far as you being a complete ass and not following up....... we have no recollection of anything, your on your own....lol

But some docs can be rude for no reason at all where others don't usually have that demeanor unless they're having a bad day.

Tomorrow!!

Commencement is tomorrow! We just finished out "Senior Week" which I think is very funny to have in med school, but that's okay. We had a formal last night (med school prom) which was tons of fun, but I think I overdid it a bit...good thing graduation was not today!

Congratulations to my fellow docs in the Class of 2009! And thanks for the welcome to residency. *sigh* four more years....

I am going into the medical field, but am wanting to research genetics. I was told I didn't need to go to medical school, yet that doesn't make sense to me, so now I'm looking up schools anyway. Does anyone know a good way to go about doing this? Is there a database or someway other than google to look up schools?
