First day of Winter Quarter today. It's going to be a long 12 weeks. Hold me...

1. My dear Aristus!

Aw, sweetie...

You will be fine!

You don't need any hugs from me...I'm old.

You need hugs from the sexy young things that people your dreams...

But here's a hug anyway...just in case::hug:

2. What's on the agenda? (nm)

[Aristus]

3. Maternity & Child Care, Radiology, Patient Management, Clinical Procedures,

Clinical Ethics, Geriatrics, Pharmacology, and more...

I'm exhausted just thinking about it...

4. Even more?

Wow, just wow. I am in awe!

5. There's also Problem-Based Learning. It's a group project; diagnosis by committee.

We P.A. students were put into groups with the medical students. Man! Some of them are dumb! P.A. students have to have at least 4,000 hours of clinical experience just to apply to the program; medical students can dance right into school just out of pre-med. Not an iota of practical experience in the whole lot of them. In today's first test case, based on the available data, I suggested compartment syndrome as part of the differential. The med. students oohed and ahhed as if I'd scored a last minute touchdown! Sheesh! :eyes:

6. *That* sounds very interesting

Group clinical case study - that sounds cool. At least you have immediately established your cred in front of them. Ooh, I hate premed students. I edit undergrad A&P textbooks so I get to hear from them all about how my book sucks and how they hate everyone in their classes. At least I only have to hear it from them a few times a year: you have to study with them!
