Vincent is currently doing med... he never did law...

Tutors required to take small groups or coach students one-on-one at coaching college in Carlingford. Wide range of subjects (English, Writing, Maths, General Ability, Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology...) and students from all years (primary to high school). Classes usually run on a...

I'm assuming if a pilot program is running then at least provisional approval has been given?? I get the feeling UNSW is adopting an innovation-in-education front, we've had some talk of integration/collaboration with specialty colleges in future... Have I talked to you about this? Maybe. I...

I personally would not. At this stage, anyway. Year 4 would be your grad year or so anyway so it'd make just as much sense (apart from sense of security) to finish a med sci degree and apply for postgrad med.

Pred does not induce gout. Yep, allopurinol may trigger a gouty attack. This is due to the reduction in urate levels (which is ironic because it is the high urate levels that are the cause of gout). This is why it is recommended practice to cover the introduction of hypouricaemic therapy...

Does anyone know what actually happened up at BiolSci this morning? I was caught up in the commotion with the fire trucks and the ambulance and heard rumours about someone collapsed or vomiting. And something about a gas leak.

I feel the need to say something here... It's true that biology may be more "applicable" to health sciences, in that you learn about cells and a bit of basic physiology and maybe even some stuff about disease. However, a couple of things: 1. Physics does not have "nothing to do with curing...

Oh wow! Had no idea about the existence of this thread. I'm in 1041. I hate 1041. The Diana woman talks too fast, and too much. If you mentally block out every second word coming out of her mouth, she becomes marginally bearable. I've just recently made a conscious decision to attend no...

Special Requirements: Not sure about other unis but everything was done for us at UNSW once we started the course, including vaccinations, registration with the medical board, first aid etc. I met Neville Yeomans the other day! He visited our department for Journal Club and we had coffee after.

I like physics.

Nope, but there are a fair few projects running up at WW. Either way, I'd encourage all med students to take part in a project. For one thing, you'll all have to do research work at some point and it's a bit of a preview of what's involved. It may also be worthwhile gaining insights from the...

Help medical researchers! We need you! Are you... 1. Male? 2. 18-40 years old? 3. A non-smoker? If you've said yes to all three, then you are eligible to take part in a medical study currently being conducted by my friend on the effects of antioxidants on blood pressure. The...

Hey sexy! My mum loooooves you!!!!!

1. Don't interrupt the patient's opening spiel. Average opening in clinical practice is 90 seconds, but it can go on longer. After they finish, pause and count to three (in case they have anything left to say) before asking questions. 2. Set an agenda, eg "I'd like to spend some time focusing...

I think with the UNSW "old" course (ie pre-2004), honours were rewarded (though do not quote me on this). As for the New Course: HD = 85 and above D = 75 - 84 C = 65 - 74 P = 50 - 64 I think at the end of our degree honours may be rewarded BUT they are still working out how to award...

Yepyep... I'm doing a year of research at Vinnies starting from May but it'll be mostly clinical from then on... =P It's stupid cuz there are so many fire drills around upper campus that you learn not to take them seriously. Once we sat through about fifteen minutes of sirens whilst our...

Haha... it was our last (real) day at uni ever and it was cut short.

Aw you are so mean. But heheh... yes... the section is "really" in the test. On reflection it's very much a sterilised version of Where's Wally. Now there's an educational series...
