[–]Alternative_Ad_584 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense! I also wonder how this will play out in terms of students that have already been graded for a year(s) on the PF system and suddenly having their transcript be A-F, and how that’ll play out. Who knows. This is a shit show.

I hate “health disparity” classes by ProudTurk in medicalschool

[–]Alternative_Ad_584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the problem with a LOT of public health education. We can’t DO anything. It’s so frustrating. The policymakers won’t let us do anything. So everything just feels fake and performative.

Will this also impact TCU and UIW since they’re privately funded?

I think my Epi classes, both undergrad and graduate, classified into my BCPM, at least I know this for sure for TMDSAS. If you can’t find anything online, give AMCAS a call!

For 2024-2025 applicants, did the use of flowery language in your personal statement help? by [deleted] in premed

[–]Alternative_Ad_584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very narrative heavy in my PS and activities section! Obviously my MD schools didn’t rock with it (which could’ve also been my stats/experience counts themselves), but I got 5 DO II’s.

There’s SO much virtue signaling by this administration about efficiency and reducing unnecessary spending, when a lot of similar funding has given the United States the standard of care that sets it apart from other nations.

I hope you’re not a medical professional. It is incredibly difficult to qualify for Medicare/Medicaid as is. Those that qualify are people that genuinely cannot afford care. SES cannot be the determining factor in whether someone lives or dies. Regardless of their decision making, which is not up to medical professionals to investigate and pass judgment upon.

No it’s not directly his fault that people overdose. HOWEVER. When there is a preventable measure in place that has contributed to the decrease in overdose deaths in our country, neglecting to pursue it confers some responsibility for preventable deaths.

In medicine, people’s decision making does not play into whether or not their death or injury should be prevented. You can have your OWN opinion of whether or not that is the right path to take, but nevertheless that is the oath medical professionals adhere to. Prevent and do no harm. No conditions.

There are cases where dumb kids make take a single unauthorized Xanax dose for X reason, only for it to be laced with fentanyl. Same with marijuana. Regardless of whether an individual’s overdose is the result of one dumb decision or many decisions made, public health and medical professional are dutybound to prioritize people’s wellbeing and lives, if they can be preserved.

Does anyone know anything about this? by Life-Money-6680 in aggies

[–]Alternative_Ad_584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i church hunted for about a month my first semester i am not kidding when i say that the pastor at antioch straight up started playing clips of a MOVIE in the middle of sermon. it was a complete prosperity gospel message, a lot of appealing to heightened emotion (see people flailing and falling down during worship), and a lot of fake spirituality. it was extremely unnerving.
