The Med School Pulse

Here is a must share from the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at Western University of Canada. The medical school admissions video was for Interview Weekend 2013 created by the Class of 2016.

The film titled: ‘The Applicant’ is a bizzare comedy that follows a prospective medical school student the day of his interview. The film pokes fun at typical pre-med and medical stereotypes. My Oscar nomination for Medical School Movies of 2013!

The United States Supreme Court is hearing an interesting case this week regarding Myriad Genetics’ right to patent the cancer-causing genes, BRCA 1 and BRCA2. The court’s decision, when made, will have important implications for future physicians and researchers with regards to their ability to do research and work in the ever-evolving field of genetics. Basically, if you’re planning to practice medicine, as most of you reading this blog are, the outcome of this case is very important for your future practice!

The essential question at stake is whether or not you can patent a gene or a particular variant …

Navigating the waters of medical school admissions can be rough; from the personal statement, to the interview, admissions can seem daunting and confusing before one even begins to apply.  

While many people have opinions about the best way to gain admission, in the end, the only opinions that really matter are those of the admissions committees; after all, they’re the ones that decide whether you’ll be accepted or not.
