Med timetable (1 Viewer)

[Lexicographer]

Ok, I've finalised my timetable to date. Would any of the other med people like to post theirs?

(Yes I am procrastinating. If you know where it is, see my blog for the updated list of things-I-need-to-do-before-Sunday-night).

[Lexicographer]

Yeah mine does too. 27 is the maximum weekly load, but it's variable (the stuff in square brackets is date/week codes).

Hey, this is something I don't get, what is the stuff you do up at JHH? Like, I think you have it down as "medical interviewing"?

 

[Lexicographer]

Basically meeting with patients and learning to take their history. Like when you see a doctor, they ask what the problem is and you say "well this feels wrong" or whatever. Then they get you to talk about it, and ask questions. After they've got enough information from you and examined you they make a diagnosis (or have some tests done to confirm a suspected diagnosis). That's medical interviewing.

 

[hipsta_jess]

ohhh, ok...I was thinking that, but then I thought you'd probably do that once you get into pracs, not right from the very very start.
Ya learn something new every day.

 

[Lexicographer]

Yeah but you see you don't need to know anything medical to learn communication skills.

 

[mervvyn]

Our timetables (at least in the new course) are different every week, about the only constant thing is when we have clinical (2 hours a fortnight). Average contact hours a week is probably 18-19 i'd say, it's not too bad really, except we have lots of large breaks (3+ hours).

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

mine is gettin better..
each day its 5 hr blocks..
then full day clinical on thurs...

 

[Lexicographer]

Mine is getting worse. More labs, more assignments, more reports.

 

[Bob.J]

and less sleep

i blame 70% of that on college life

 

[Lexicographer]

Heh I don't have a problem with college life, but that's because I live in the spacious wing (med has its benefits).

My insomnia problem is more related to the air conditioned computer room camping.

 

[kimmeh]

Hm, im technically a med student so im going to post mine up. Like most of you guys, mine changes everyweek, though the slots have been allocated, the subjects maybe alternated. Next semester gets worse as well. Similarly to Alvin, i'll get one full day of clinicals/animal handling a week. Im scheduled in for 28 hours pw.

 

[inasero]

no ur a vet student!!!

 

[+Po1ntDeXt3r+]

sorri kimmeh.. ure not like me.. difference is.. im skillful...

and u dun realli need communication skills and .. at last check vets didnt hav ridiculous insurance costs either..

 

[hipsta_jess]

Lets fight nice and cleanly, children!

 

[Lexicographer]

I'll pay Kim's claim to "med" studentness. She makes up for no communication skills by learning the anatomy and physiology of everything that's not human besides dirt.

Respect.

 

[inasero]

Ok so can I be a dentistry student then? These days, I'm learning head and neck anatomy so surely that qualifies me to be a dental student!
