OSU-COM class of 2008

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Seriously, my ratio of classes attended to classes skipped has been taking a rather severe dive this semester. Especially with certain technology impaired profs. Those slides are so small and blurry.

I was in Dallas for the first half of the week, and I'm now in Austin for the second half.

I know Tiffini is in Hawaii for the week.
 
Anyone doing anything cool for summer?

Probably would be better if Hernandez gave you an idea b/c the requirements are changing with his class. After that, I can answer more specific questions.
 
congrats to all the graduating 4th years!
cannot believe that only 6 days are left until completely done with 1st year
 
Hey, we're second years!

I'm flying in to Tulsa this weekend to find an apartment...any suggestions?

Also, I can't remember the name of the hotel I stayed at when I interviewed, can anyone help me out with a good hotel?

Congratulations everyone. :thumbup:

I saw the commencement info. The match list looked good.

If you want to live close to campus, then you should look at Westport.

If you'd rather live in a business district, with all of the restaurants, fast food, stores, etc., then consider Fountain Crest (71st & Lewis.) It is a short 10 minute drive on 75 or riverside to school.

I'd rather not live in the area near school, as there isn't much around there. It really depends on if you want to spend all of your time at school, or you'd rather get away as much as possible.
 
Hey guys, ready for the fall yet?
 
Does anyone have a recommendation for health insurance during shcool for myself and my wife. I have heard SOMA should be avoided. We will probably have a kid or two sometime over the next 4 years and I want to make sure we can get affordable and reliable insurance coverage. Any help would be appreciated.
 
yeah sounds like a really "rough" life

YMCA Camp Classen, Davis, OK.

I'm the "clinic specialist" in charge of the infirmary, and I've been doing some lifeguarding and administrative duties as well.

That sounds fun and like some good experience. How did you hear about a gig like that? I'm thinking about next summer.

Just applied for a job with YMCA. I didn't really hear about it. Just looked for some camp jobs that needed medical staff.

Thanks Dr. Pete. I love your avatar. I'm thinking of searching for a doc that might be interested in some summer help next year. I guess my qualifications may be lacking at that stage, but hopefully I could be useful to someone :confused:.

Any of you MS-2s that would like to visit with some of the incoming class, we will be congregating at the Gray Snail Saloon (on Cherry St.) on August 9 at 5:30p. Feel free to come and provide wisdom to all us newbies.

oops, i cant believe I missesd this. Short run down

4 months of core 1 ob, 1 surg, 2 months of IM, 1 of which is a specialty
* CE 9115 - Medicine I (core)
* CE 9125 - Medicine II (core)
* CE 9145 - Family Medicine B
* CE 9155 - Pediatrics
* CE 9175 - OB/GYN (core)
* CE 9185 - Psychiatry
* CE 9195 - Surgery (core)
* CE 9215 - Community Hospital I (2 month stint and back to back with CH II in same site)
* CE 9225 - Community Hospital II
* CE 9235 - Primary Care Clinic
* CE 9245 - Family Medicine C
* CE 9255 - Emergency Medicine
* Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (replaced Family Medicine A

The you have 2 Required electives in primary care (peds/IM/ER/etc) they say the are more restrictive on what they will allow since they dropped it to only 2 from 4.

then 6 electives of your choice, 1 required month long vacation. You may split one month in 2 month blocks, but only 1 month.

That should add up to 22 months,

and more questions feel free to ask and if i dont respond, send me a private message. Oh and the current clerkship guide is here
 
Thanks, Hernandez :) I'm glad that they changed the elective situation for you guys. I've gotten around some of the old requirements that still hold for my class, but it is a nusiance. Good improvement on the school's part. :thumbup:



I just realized that this thread hasn't been moved to the osteopathic class threads forum, so I'm gonna send it there now. :)
 
Hi guys.

Quick question for those who have already been at OSU for a year or more.

How much patient contact did you get in year 1 and then in year 2 ?

Some real, some simulated, some paid pros (pelvic, rect exams), other students, any clinics, etc....

Could someone elaborate on this for me?

Thank you, :)
Johnny

It changes year to year, mostly with an increase in contacts. Pevlics/DRE's/Male genitalia/hernia checks and a full H&p are all done by employed actors. much of the OMM/clinical skills for other things are done on each other, there are also the early clinical experience programs at TRMC, several mandatory days in the OSU Clinic, not to mention opportunities to do sport's physcials and other stuff. any more specific questions?

I'm just trying to get as much info as I can.

Hey guys, I'll be starting school here in the next couple of weeks and just picked up a few books from my MS2. This week I'm filling in at a very boring job where I have lots of time on my hands...sooo...if I were to start perusing some of these books, which subject/section would you recommend? Thanks! Oh, and thanks to everyone who came and hung out with us newbies at Gray Snail last night. :)

In Anatomy you'll start on the Back and then do the neck. This is your first exam, and is the most difficult exam of the semester for anatomy. You'll need to learn all of the arteries and nerves to start with. I recommend Rohen's Color Atlas of Anatomy and Netter's Atlas of Anatomy.

As far as histology is concerned, you'll start with epithelium and glands. You'll need to know the function of all the cells and glands, as well as what secretions or products they produce. This is likely the most difficult exam of the entire year for any course.

Please do not spend much time studying for the first biochemistry exam. The first exam is extremely easy on purpose. Many people failed the first anatomy and histology exam (half the class or more), but almost everyone got A's on the first biochemistry exam.
 
cool, thanks. very helpful.
 
Stacy (tour guide) talked to me a little about gross anatomy, but refresh my memory if you can. At OSU you don't actually do the whole body yourself...some people do some parts while others do the rest? Something along those lines....anyone whose done it have the details?

Thanks,
Johnny
 
There are 2 groups of students on each body. These groups alternate dissecting (by body region). On Mondays, if you dissected the week before, then you help teach those parts to the ones who weren't dissecting.

This alternating system is good. Trust me when I say that most of the time you'll spend in the anatomy lab is spent doing things like picking fat...not learning. You'll be thankful that you don't have the tremendous time drain of dissecting every week.

In addition to having 2 groups on each body (meaning 2 pairs of people who alternate lab periods), you also do only one side of the body the whole year.

As a result, you and your lab partner will only dissect 1/4 of the body. You will learn to appreciate the additional study time.

Thus 8 total people assigned to a body, but 4 in a lab period at a time.
 
Thanks folks. I appreciate it.

btw DrMom...'picking fat'...ohhhhhh the visual. :eek: lol

that reminds me of the day I'd been scrubbed into surgery for somewhere around 14 hrs...so I'm kinda daydreaming. My thoughts move subtlely onto a great smelling steak...and then I realize that I'm smelling the resident cauterizing the patient's muscle :eek:

I tried not to daydream in surgery after that ;)
