Cell biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry were not such bad classes that a rush into the MCB change was needed, IMO. I am glad that they are slowly integrating the material, but that seems like something that could have been done in meetings before the students were impacted.

they were discussed and planned as far back as before september of 2005 when the planning originally began for the curriculum revision and clinical science integration but there is really only so much that can be talked about and many things that are unforeseen in planning come up during execution regardless of how long you plan or discuss things. and i only know this because the school actually sent faculty to various clinical sites to interview students on what changes needed to be made to the basic science curriculum so what you guys have now was our suggestions put into practice and going by the description of the changes it seems like almost 100% of the things we suggested are being implemented.
this goes once more to illustrate how hard it is to get a concensus amongst students, and that no matter what, we as students will complain and think things should be done different because what you guys have now is what our "dream curriculum" was. i imagine if you change it to your version of med school nirvana the class that comes in 2 years from now will think you were on crack huh?
change is rough but we will all be part of change in curriculum, procedures, burocracy, management and so on many many many times over in our careers so get used to it. not to mention when you get up to management and make changes the youngsters under you will think you are as much of an idiot as we assume admin to be
