I really don't know much even though both my parents are doctors. In the folder they give you it's says that you should read medical magazines and stuff. Has ne1 done nething?

both ur parents are doctors? lucky! i dont rilli know anything either, except like current issues and stuff thats going on in the news. a lot of past ppl have said in the boards that u dont need to do any research. just be up tp date on current topics and what not

well that's good 2 here bcus I haven't done en reasearch yet or nething. Which forum r you goin 2?...im guessin the one in San Fran

actually los angeles. b/c i live there. altho i really did want to go visit berkely. thats one of my dream schools.

o oops i 4got about the one in LA. Well im goin 2 the Chicago one since im only an hours drive from the windy city. I kno some ppl that go 2 berkely

Well I know some on Medicine but I dont pretend to be an expert. I'm in the Health Academy here so I already hav emy EMT-B and my CNA. I guess I should start reading up on current issues

holy cow. health academy? say what? explain. =] I want to go to one of those...

we're supposed to research stuff before we go? whattt?!

Health Academy is just an opportunity that allows us tot ake college classes and get our basic high school requirements at the same time. It's really exciting and I've learned alot. Actually we just went and saw a cadaver (Sp) on friday and body worlds 2 on monday. both were pretty sweet!!

I really dont know much about med, but Ill learn when I get there..i need to start watching the news..

heyy im in health academy too =] haha yupp..

So how do you guys get into the Health academy?

Wow. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that is in the same boat. I haven't even taken any health corses at my school. I guess I really need to read up on current health topics/issues. Thanks you guys! you're major help to me!

well, I owe it to you guys because I didn't even see in the packet that it said to be reading up and studying medical stuff. Thats what some genus invented the internet for. thanks...

yea that body works/worlds? 2 was AMAZING

Body Worlds 2 is in Denver - It was so AWESOME!
There are so many things that you never knew could be done to the body. It also had a man with 12 toes and 12 fingers (Sweet)!!!

I saw Body Worlds 2 in Denver too. I agree, it was awesome! rap3 when did u go? My family and I traveled from Casper to Denver on May 11 to watch a Colorado Avalanche game, and on the next day we went to see Body Worlds. About education, I just finished Medical Terminology thru the local college. My mom has a bachelors in Nursing, but was a paramedic when I was young, so I've heard stories all of my life.

What is Body Worlds/What is it like? Wow! You took courses at college? I'm feeling a bit behind now... Don't wory crimeoffashion, I'm planning to read a bunch of articles on CNN beforehand and after finals.

Crissy, Body Worlds is an exhibit of donated human bodies that have gone through a process called plastination. Gunther von Hagen is the master mind behind plastination. Go to this site for some more info on the exhibit! http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/pages/home.asp
I've heard that there's talk of using von Hagen's plastinated bodies for med students, for many reasons including that the bodies would last a lot longer. If u get the chance, u should go to the exhibit.

Thanks for the info!

Hey guys-
Im glad Im not in the same boat either- I need to read about current trends in Medicine too. Anyone else going to Washington DC third session?
