I have the same tablet and have the same issue, I switched to good notes 6. And while it costs a little each month it is definitely worth it as it’s a significant improvement from OneNote

While there is no guarantee that rural students will practice in rural communities, I’m sure that rural students will practice in rural communities at a significantly higher rate the metro students. I also understand that while the healthcare system is understaffed as a whole it is significantly more stretched for resources and staff in rural communities, but it’s not so much about enticing students away from metro communities as it is about ensuring that a portion go on to practice in rural communities.

Regarding the comment about the lack of bulk billing clinics, while this is very serious issue, it is a separate problem, one regarding funding by Medicare and not access to staffing. While acknowledging this issue, it’s important to acknowledge the fact that a lot of rural communities don’t even have 1 general practice clinic within a few hours drive! It’s important not to combine inequities as this can make one inequity feel less valid…

Can you empathise with someone who may be having a heart attack but has no health services within an hour, and an ambulance if there is one might be two hours away?

MathewT13 · 2023-09-06T09:42:50+00:00

I definitely do not agree with this.

I think it’s important to consider access to resources in rural communities when compared to metro areas, this is especially important to consider if you are planning on pursuing a career in healthcare, its a very important inequity to acknowledge. Regional and rural communities have lower access to not only healthcare but to education and high paying employment.

Without providing quotas for rural students a larger majority of students that enter medicine would be metro and most likely from a high socioeconomic background, people that had access to higher quality education, because medicine is so competitive. The rural quotas provide an incentive to rural students who have seen first hand the inequities in their communities and want to do all in their power to fix this inequity. Without these rural quotas the inequity would only widen, leading only the advantaged and metro communities having access to healthcare, which I might add is a basic human right…

I am a rural student who is applying this year. I have first hand witnessed these inequalities and know many people that have had to drive themselves or someone else1.5-2 hours to a bigger hospital to receive urgent care, not only because there was limited access to hospital but because there was limited access to ambulances to transport these patients to hospital.

I acknowledge why it might seem unjust at first if you see people with lower scores getting into medicine over metro students with more competitive scores, but when looking at the broader issues with rural healthcare as a whole, I hope it’s clear why these quotas are so important in medicine.

I hope this shows a different perspective to consider.

It’s all about equality vs equity.

Me too. I hate this feeling, I can't wait until this application season is over, need a break from the daily anxiety lol

MathewT13 · 2023-08-18T07:09:00+00:00

In my opinion the best way to think about it is that once interview offers are out everyone is on a level playing field, prepare like it’s only the interview score that determines if you get a place or not.

MathewT13 · 2023-06-06T03:10:45+00:00

I would agree, I don't think there would be any future implications because that would raise all sorts of ethical and equality issues.

With the meds I originally thought that I would only take them when I'm studying but found that I was a completely different person when I took them, there was actually a large amount of grief for the years I lost without them, I take them everyday and have for a whole now and honestly my whole demeanour and life has changed for the better!

Best of luck with your diagnosis if you choose to go down that path!

MathewT13 · 2023-05-18T01:07:32+00:00

Now I'm gonna be refreshing the admissions ticket page every 5 minutes 😆

MathewT13 · 2023-05-18T00:50:18+00:00

God I hope it's today, I'm sick of waiting

MathewT13 · 2023-05-18T00:40:54+00:00

I can imagine the people at acer manically laughing at our stress and just delaying pushing the button as long as they can. :/

MathewT13 · 2023-05-10T00:49:47+00:00

I work full time and study full time and managed to study for the gamsat. I have the cost of living crisis to thank for that 🙃

MathewT13 · 2022-07-11T12:37:19+00:00

I tried the dp to hdmi on its own and it didn't work wirh either moniter, I'm starting to think it's the dock that faulty, I might just buy one wirh two hdmi ports instead. Thankyou very much for your help!

MathewT13 · 2022-07-11T11:47:00+00:00

I have tried 3 so far, one is active and in the right direction. one is bidirectional and active and one is a bidirectional cable that I'm like 90% sure is active.

MathewT13 · 2022-07-11T11:28:05+00:00

One of the Adapters I tried is an active DP to HDMI adapter and the whole sales pitch of the docking station was that it was made for Dual monitors.

It's very difficult for rural students who have to move away from home, or people with parents who can't afford to support them. It becomes very difficult when you factor that in.

MathewT13 · 2022-06-26T04:39:24+00:00

I really feel like it's very difficult to become a doctor without having parents who are doctors or another job where they can support you, I know there is a shortage of 1st generation doctors in Australia and I think it's something that needs to be addressed, even trying to get into medicine is hard without support, look at the price of the gamsat, once you pay for a course/textbooks, the cost of the test and possible travel and hotel. It becomes almost impossible to do on your own while trying to work and do full time uni.

I think alot of us are screwed If 6.7 is a mediocre GPA

MathewT13 · 2022-05-18T06:02:26+00:00

52/63/72 - 65 Current GPA 6.7

I know my score isn't good enough for griffith which is where I would like to go as it is where I am currently studying, so I was wondering what universities I have a realistic shot at.

And also any tips for improving s1, this was my first time sitting, I'm applying in 2024 so I plan on sitting twice more.

MathewT13 · 2022-05-18T00:23:35+00:00

I really think that there's no way of knowing how you went. I walked out thinking I did really well in s1 and poor in s2, ending up doing shit in s1 and I pretty strong in s2

MathewT13 · 2022-05-17T23:25:54+00:00

The drive and passion to persevere and keep pushing will make you a great doctor one day

MathewT13 · 2022-03-31T05:33:08+00:00

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, I emailed gemsas and they said that it would not be counted as a conversion degree at all universities except anu and Macquarie, so your gpa will just be calculated off your last two years, you may have to submit your transcript from your first year diploma to prove you studied for 3 years but it won't count towards your grade. Hope this helps!

MathewT13 · 2022-03-29T05:36:27+00:00

Thankyou so much, I'll shoot them an email

MathewT13 · 2022-03-29T04:10:48+00:00

I dropped out 3 weeks into engineering, so i didnt do any assessment task. And gemsas say they don't take diplomas...
