So you can't go to unapproved med school A, and then transfer to approved english instruction med school B, to meet the CA Med Board's license requirements.

Does the same rule apply to states like Indiana, which piggy-back on California's approved medical school list??? ]]> Main European Medical Schools Forum lawmed http://www.valuemd.com/showthread.php?t=224861 Help if you live in Chicago http://www.valuemd.com/showthread.php?t=224859&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 03:03:43 GMT Trying to figure out whether to live at Scholars Corner or Windemere Apartments in Hyde Park.

The "budget" for clinical science was just slashed from $15,900 a semester to $12,562 (a loss of $3338 borrowing ability). Since the timing of my clinicals has already been less than ideal, this may hurt me more than most but I thought I would share what I think I may have to deal with. I do have expenses that are probably a little higher than most students but not as high as some who are trying to support an entire family on student loans. My time in clinicals, at the current time will be 5.5 semesters (6 borrowing semesters), therefore this is a "'loss" of over $19,000 that I was planning on borrowing to use for residency interviews, relocation expenses, and all the other "unforeseen events" that will pop up in the next two years. What's worse is that the alternative is a "private loan" for residency which will be at market rate, with no deferment options, and I will finish off-cycle and have 9 months of "unemployment" between finishing clinicals and starting residency. So, where does the money come from to pay back these private loans? And before you suggest "get a job", how do you explain to a new employer that you need to take off 2 days a week for 12 weeks for residency interviews? I have been ahead of the curve for a while because I have been working on the big picture since starting school but I didn't see this one coming. The one theme that I have heard from classmates is that money frequently limited the number of programs they could apply to, and then actually interview at. So, what good is a degree that cost 350K+ if you only have 1-2K for applications and interviews? I find it hard to believe that even the BEST students have a budget that small. I think most people "skim" money each semester and put it aside but the ability to skim was just wiped out for me and possibly many other students who haven't read the email and haven't been saving extra. The extra I have now will be chewed up by the time the next application cycle starts in 2013.

Suggestions, comments? And a big "thank you" to everyone who filled out those surveys with penny-pinching in mind. ]]> American University of the Caribbean (AUC) dreileen http://www.valuemd.com/showthread.php?t=224858 Greenbook rotation question http://www.valuemd.com/showthread.php?t=224856&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 01:25:21 GMT I am wondering if a rotation is considered accredited if it is a participating hospital under another sponsor even if the residents only rotate through the hospital for 1 month during their 2nd resident year and never again..for example i was just scheduled for FM at kingsbrook, though it is not a...

I will be heading to the island end of July or the first part of august. I know this is only the second enrollment for this program. I assume a lot of the classes are similar to foundations or the last year of the pre-med. However, what kind of work load is it? Do you have academic resources such as tutors? I only ask, as I have not had many of these classes or it has been a very long time since I did. I do have a very good GPA but it never hurts to do some ground work. I do not see any Facebook posts or decent Google searches for current students either. There is of course the schools advertisement but I want the real inside scoop. Any info from attending students would be greatly appreciated.

NEWPORT NEWS -- When a female employee at Hope Medical Institute in Oyster Point went to use the ladies' room, she found co-worker Jayesh Shah adjusting ceiling tiles.
Questioning why the business' manager of sales and marketing was there and what he was doing, she reported Shah.
Newport News police officers got to the company, located at 11835 Rock Landing Drive, and recovered a camera which, they say, Shah admitted he planted in the ceiling.
Master Police Officer Harold Eley said the 49-year-old also said he recorded five women as they used the bathroom.
Shah, who lives in the 400 block of Belmont Circle in the Coventry section of York County,was arrested Thursday on five counts of Unlawful Filming. The Class 1 Misdemeanor carries a penalty of as long as 1 year in jail, and/or a fine of as much as $2,500. That means Shah could get a sentence of 5 years and/or a fine of $12,500.
Shah was released on bail and is due in court May 9, officials at Newport News General District Court told WVEC.com.
On Friday, a representative for the school told 13News that Shah no longer works there and they don't know how long this activity has been happening.
James Womack, the director of career development and student affairs, said the whole office staff is upset.
"All of us are hurt by this. It just caught everybody off guard. You never suspect anything like this will happen," Womack said. "It's a teachable moment. It's going to allow us to review our tactics in how we hire people," he added.
13News stopped at Shah's townhouse Thursday night. Although at least one person was inside the home, no one answered the door.
