Hello and congrats on your acceptance. You've all made a great choice....
I'm a 4th semester student here at AUC and I'm one of the Student Advisors that have been assigned to many of you.
If you have any questions about anything (and I mean anything, no limits!), please write to your student advisor as we have been here for a year now. If you are accepted and have not gotten an email from one of us, please write to MEIO or the Registrar down here and they'll make sure to hook you up with one of us.
You're in for a wild ride, but its worth it...
See ya in the Rotunda,
John

I called up these doctors, believe it or not, and told them what I wanted to do. They were very nice to allow me to come and work with them. That translated into getting hands on experiences. Honestly, I am very surprised that I was allowed to do the things I have been allowed to do, but I give all of the credit to the doctors taking their time and allowing me to learn. I have learned that the way to get ahead in life is to work out your own roads. So, if you want to get these types of experiences, don't be afraid to go up to the doctor who you want to work with and say, "Hey, I was wondering if I could spend some time with you." Trust me, most doctors LOVE to take people who really want to learn. My first medical experience was working or "shadowing" under a pathologist when I was a sohpomore in high school. So, go with what you want and ask. After that, most doctors will let you get your hands "dirty" because they want you to learn. Hope that helps.
