TSR Med Students' Society Part III

Cheers! I really enjoyed neuro in semester three so here's to hoping I'll still be able to say the same by the end of the year out!

Haha you reckon? I've got to say, I am very excited by the prospect of living in central for the duration. I can't wait to meet new people too!

Tell me about it! Thanks man, hope you're enjoying your BSc year!

Thanks Becca! That's strange, I received the e-mail shortly before lunch. You got the e-mail last week about them delaying it for a week so I am guessing you'll hear very soon. Good luck with it and all of your other choices!

Cheers Renal!

Thanks! How did you find that year? I imagine it will be different to what I'll be doing but generally speaking, was it what you expected it to be?

Central Bermondsey or central Denmark Hill

That says that it's been balloted for the last 60 years rather than being a new thing. What I found interesting was:

"Critics of the new proposals ask why Norway could not have a system similar to that in Denmark, where training positions are reserved for Danish medical students. By defining the training positions as an integral part of medical education, Denmark avoids coming into conflict with the EU principle of the free flow of labour."

This must be quite appealing for the UK as well if UK graduates ending up without an F1 job is going to continue being a worry.

Christ you get up early. 6am?! or was that when you got in?

The only reason I was up so early was goddamn rowing at 7:30

Can anyone access this paper? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2139112

Yes, I have it do you want it

I tried, but the link for full text went to a totally unrelated article.

Yea I noticed it links to the article above, so I tried the one below...Some muppet screwed up with the filing.

I bet it was Gonzo.

love short terms

On of the down sides here are the long first and second terms in preclin years. First term as 13 weeks, and this one is 15. However it does mean we get easter hols just before exams, good for revision and it means that the last term is only a couple of weeks.

wow thats really quite long compared to ours! we have (terms separated by commas);

1st year: 8 weeks, 8 weeks, 6 weeks - 2 weeks of no university teaching - exams
2nd year: 8 weeks, 8 weeks, 2 weeks of no university teaching - exams - BA stuff

with 6/7 week holidays in between.

The latter!

I ended up going to fabric with some friends last night. Farringdon is worse than Camden!
